Beneath this smile, there is a person
There is a life that lives behind this disguise
There is a creature that is prisoned to this tragic facade
Beneath this laugh, there are tears
There is pain that chips away at my foolish mask
There is hurt that lies beyond this selfish charade
Beneath this stable image, there is a scared little girl
There is a nightmare that dents itself into my fable
There is an innocent chid that longs for the freedom to cry
Beneath this happy illusion, there is a lonely child
There is a fear of loving, fear of being alone
There is a girl here, behind this strong foundation
