Behind what you see

She chokes down the tears and tries to stay strong.
How could a love so good, turn out so wrong?

The words in her diary, you wouldn't comprehend.
You wouldn't understand them because you're only her friend.

Behind her smile, there's a hurting heart.
Behind her laugh, she's falling apart.

Laying down at night, crying on her bed.
Thoughts of you continually run through her head.

You wouldn't believe how hard she's cried.
Ever since you left she's been dying inside.

Behind her smile, there's a hurting heart.
Behind her laugh she's falling apart.

All of your love letters, still sit in her drawer.
All of the pictures of you remain on her door.

All of her notebooks, still say your name.
This girls feelings for you remain the same.

Behind her smile, there's a hurting heart.
Behind her laugh, she's falling apart.

She looks out the window as the breeze cools her skin.
While she listens to the song that reminds her of him.

She stares at the wall with a blank look on her face.
But it's better than mascara stains on her pillowcase.

Behind her smile, there's a hurting heart.
Behind her laugh, she's falling apart.

She won't give up even though she's falling apart.
She loves this boy with all her heart.

She may be breaking down, but you'll never see her cry.
Ever since you left, a part of her has died.

Behind her smile, there's a hurting heart.
Behind her laugh, she's falling apart.
