Close the book, take it away
If I pretend that I'm not hurting maybe I'll be ok
Shut my eyes, shut out the world
Stop anyone noticing that I'm a fragile girl
Let them see me as strong, and in no pain
And if they notice my tears, make them believe its rain
Pretend it didn't happen, pretend that I'm alright
Give me strength to smile, make like I'm happy for the night
Let him see me kiss someone, let him hurt inside
Turn the situation round, make it his feeling he has to hide
I'll make effort, radiate beauty, make him want me again
Then turn away, dance away, let letting me go drive him insane
