She tries so hard to hide.

There is a girl who smiles lots,
Although she's sad inside.
The pain she feels inside her chest
She tries very hard to hide.

It's enough to fool her mother
And enough to fool her friends.
Sure, outside she's smiling,
But inside, the pain never ends.

Sometimes she fails to smile
And sometimes her cover slips-
But she holds back the tears,
And bites down on her lips.

She's sad inside, but no one can tell
Of the pain that is enclosed
In this poor girl's heart, and veins, and soul-
In her whole body, I suppose.

She clutches her chest tightly,
As she slowly walks along,
Fooling everyone in sight-
They don't know anything's wrong.

And each morning she will smile
For the ones she loves enough
To fake a smile for each day-
She's sad but she is tough.

And she'll go home and cry tonight
About all the pain that is inside
This sad girl's heart, and veins, and soul
That she tries so hard to hide.
