Behind the smile

Behind the smile 

Behind this big smile  

Is a girl who's been hurt 

Behind this beautiful smile 

Is a girl who cries herself to sleep at night 

Behind this bright smile 

Is a girl who hides her pain for the sake of others

Behind this smile 

Is a girl who wishes to never have felt pain 

"The prettiest smile hide the deepest secrets,

the prettiest eyes have cried the most tears,

and the kindest hearts have felt the most pain". 

Behind this smile 

Is a girl who wants to be normal 

Behind this smile 

Is a girl who doesn't see her true beauty 

Behind this smile 

Is a girl who doesn't see how perfect she is in her own way 

But she wants to

But she cannot with all the pain, all the words that come to her 

She just wants to be happy 

"She just wants to be, beautiful
She goes, unnoticed she knows, no limits
She craves, attention she praises, an image
She prays to be, sculpted by the sculptor
Oh, she doesn't see, the light that's shining
Deeper than the eyes can find it
Maybe we have made her blind
So she tries to cover up her pain, and cut her woes away
Cause cover girls don't cry, after their face is made" 

Behind this amazing smile 

Is a girl who chooses not to give up and to be strong for herself and to try to be confident
