There is a girl who smiles lots,
Although she's sad inside.
The pain she feels inside her chest
She tries very hard to hide.
It's enough to fool her mother
And enough to fool her friends.
Sure, outside she's smiling,
But inside, the pain never ends.
Sometimes she fails to smile
And sometimes her cover slips-
But she holds back the tears,
And bites down on her lips.
She clutches her chest tightly,
As she slowly walks along,
Fooling everyone in sight-
They don't know anything's wrong.
