With a smile upon her face
No one knows what's going on
Something's there, but without a trace
She seems to be quite "normal,"
All giddy and upbeat
But only she knows the pain
That is her defeat
Every now and then,
The hurt somehow seeps through
But she quickly tucks it in
And no one ever knew
The hurt, the pain, the emptiness,
They chew away inside her
On the outside, she laughs it up
And no one is the wiser
She thinks she's so clever
She thinks that no one knows
But he's got her figured out;
He's realized all her woes
That facade of a smile fades
And a genuine one appears
For finally love has found a way
To silence all her fears.
