The happiness of the world is fading away,
people ask me 'whats wrong?' and i don't know how to say:
That lately i've been feeling broken,
cuz 3 simple words keep forgetting to be spoken.

I wake up in the morning and look in the mirror,
peering into my eyes, i see they're filled with terror,
I think about what's going to happen today,
and suddenly i just want to stay home and hide away.

I'll have to walk around smiling, but feeling broken inside,
Exchanging smiles with people whose eyes show the silent tears they've also cried.

Model on the outside, poet on the in.
Heart seems to be smiling, but is weighed down with sin.
When you think you know someone, look into their eyes,
and you'll see whether or not their happiness really reaches the skies.

Remove the bracelets, and look for scars,
even if their smile is bright like the stars.
The self pity they i constantly feel, Checks the world into the reality that happiness isn't real.
