Behind this smile

Behind this fake smile
is everything you'll never understand
you don't know the real me
and that's why you still hold my hand

if you knew the half of it
all the things that I hide
you would surely leave me
and I'd have no one by my side

my life is really screwed up
there are so many problems I won't show
so many things that are wrong
so many things you'll never know

it only takes one fake smile
to cover a million tears
it covers everything I feel
my anger, depression, and fears

so please don't pretend like you know me
because you never really will
I hide behind this smile
who I am and all I feel
