My Pretty Lie

I cry myself to sleep at night,
And then say things will be alright.
Tell myself to wipe the tears,
Tell myself to hide the fears.
Smile at those who pass me by,
Never let my feelings reach my eyes.
I'm hurting so very badly inside,
It hurts so bad I always want to cry.
I don't want to worry anyone or let them know,
I don't want my tears hung up in some exhibition show.
I tell them nothing's wrong,
When inside my heart still sings its song.

Inside my heart is bleeding and I want to die.
Inside my heart is breaking and I have to try hard not to cry.
Outside I just smile and tell my pretty lie.

"I'm Alright."
