Laugh It Off

You’d never guess

what she went through 

You let her laugh it off

you'd never know 

that every day to breathe 

is a battle 

and a war 

you let her laugh it off 

you’ll never know 

what hides behind 

that beautiful smile 

because 

you didn’t take the time 

to see 

how many times

with her smile break 

Before you see 

the tears in her eyes 

how many extra miles 

will she go 

just to get by 

you never see 

the pretty little lines

so straight and clean 

you’d never notice 

the pain in her eyes 

because shell smile 

and you’ll Let her laugh it off

You stood so blind 

To every time 

she tried 

to reach out for you 

how many times 

will her small break 

before you see 

the tears in her eyes 

how many extra miles 

will she go 

just to get by

You can’t see 

what you’re looking for 

when you’re blind 

you can’t listen 

when you don’t 

want to hear 

you turned your back 

on her smile 

you want blind 

when she stood 

in front of you 

you never heard her 

screaming for you 

you let her laugh it off 

how many times will she break 

before you see 

her pain 

how far will she go 

to find someone to stop her 

every day shed scream 

“someone 

please save me 

from this life 

I don’t want to hurt 

anymore 

can you hear me 

are you listening 

can you see me 

will you look 

I don’t want to 

smile 

anymore 

someone 

anyone 

save me 

from myself”

And you sit 

and wonder why 

she isn’t smiling 

anymore 

why you can’t see 

the pain 

on her face 

and she lies so still 

on her bed 

not hearing your screams 

she’s not laughing anymore
