Got a smile on my face but my heart weighs heavy

Feeling lost in the crowd but my feet stay steady

Invisible worries they dance in my mind

Laughing out loud but my tears stay confined

What's the point of reaching out when no one can see

The darkness that hides in the light inside me

Hint at my struggles but no one seems to care

How important can it be when the world s unaware

Happiness on display but the truth's never known

Pretending to be happy when I'm all alone

Even when the heart screams the silence is loud

Burying my sadness in the midst of the crowd

Eyes meet mine but they can t see through the glaze

They cheer and they hug but don't see the maze

A mask of joy while my spirit feels gray

How important can it be when words waste away

Whispers in the night tell the secrets I keep

Dreams that reveal the nights I can't sleep

Invisible to the world but so clear to see

How important can it be when it s just me

Happiness on display but the truth's never known

Pretending to be happy when I'm all alone

Even when the heart screams the silence is loud

Burying my sadness in the midst of the crowd
