Smile
This smile that's on the outside
Is just a smile you see
You'll never see a smile on the inside
Because that is just not me
Smile on the outside
Shows that I am happy as can be
But really on the inside
I am crying very silently
The smile on the outside
Just can't give a clue
Of the love lost
And hurting on the inside
Bearing with a bruise
The smile on the outside
Is the only one to be
Until the day you love me
Then the real smile
You'll see....
