Late at night
Pretending to sleep
She lays very still
And quietly weeps.

It's three in the morning,
With tears in her eyes,
She can't help but think
Her whole life is a lie.

Day after day
She goes off to school.
There isn't one person
That she can't fool.

Everyone thinks
She's so full of pride,
But nobody knows
What's hiding inside.

She hides her emotions
Behind a big smile.
She' can't show her pain
'Cause that's not her style.

As each day passes
Her pain only grows,
But she holds it in
So nobody knows.

She can't let it out--
That's just too hard.
Only she knows
How badly she's scarred.

As the sun rises
She gets out of bed
With all of these thoughts
Filling her head.

She gets in the shower
To veil her tears
She turns on the water
So no one can hear.

She puts on her makeup.
She puts on her clothes.
She puts on her smile
So nobody knows...
