Lyrics

What’s your name, it’s nice to meet you here,
There’s something strange about you
You radiate an energy that I wish I had too
But when you turn away from me the light leaves your eyes
There’s an ache I can’t see, but I’m on your side

So what do you hide behind the smile
Is it what you can’t seem to lose

Behind that smile is a girl who’s hurting
Wish I could heal your pain
You sit and wait not knowing how many years remain
How much more can you take
Is there any escape (at what point will you break)

So what do you hide behind the smile
It is what can’t seem to lose
You bear your struggles like a child
And look what that produced

A shell of your former self
Brittle and falling apart
(Face buried in your hands
And praying for the end)
But it doesn’t have to be
There’s still warmth in your heart

So what do you hide behind the smile
It is what can’t seem to lose
You bear your struggles like a child
And look what that produced

Behind the Smile
