Tears

Hiding behind the smiles
Behind all the lies
Is someone broken inside
Open your eyes and see
There is something wrong with me
I can't do this anymore
I'm lying to myself, making my heart sore
I can no longer hide behind the smiles and the laughs
I can't hold in these tears and make the happiness last
I'm falling into an endless hole
As these emotions eat away at my sole
I don't want to pretend anymore
These tears are finally going to fall
