The world is passing me by
sat with my legs curled up i cry
i'm not part of this happiness this life
the pain is stabbing me with a knife
Everyone is smiling but i forgot how
all i can do is pretend to be happy now

Other people need me, i know this is true
so i'll keep on pretending for them and for you
i'll paint this smile on my fae like a clown
and in my hidden sorrows i'll slowly drown
i won't show any real emotion
as i know it will save a whole lot of commotion

i don't want to pin my problems onto you
because i know you have your problems too
so i'll keep this smile on my face
so that you think i'm in a happier place
and for you i'll be your shoulder on which to cry
amd thats how it'll stay till the day that i die
