Verse 1:
Behind the joyful laughter, there lies a hidden pain
A heart that's silently crying, trying to remain sane
Beneath the surface of this happy facade
Lies a world of hurt, a soul that's deeply scarred

Chorus:
So smile on the outside, while crying within
Hiding the agony, covering up the sin
But behind the laughter, the tears still flow
A heartbreak so deep, only I will ever know

Verse 2:
I bear this burden alone, keeping it all inside
Pretending everything's fine, while dying bit by bit
The weight of sorrow, the burden of grief
Is slowly crushing me, stealing my belief

Chorus:
So smile on the outside, while crying within
Hiding the agony, covering up the sin
But behind the laughter, the tears still flow
A heartbreak so deep, only I will ever know

Bridge:
I wear this mask of happiness, to shield the world from my pain
But behind closed doors, the truth remains the same
I long for solace, for someone to understand
The depth of my despair, the touch of a helping hand

Chorus:
So smile on the outside, while crying within
Hiding the agony, covering up the sin
But behind the laughter, the tears still flow
A heartbreak so deep, only I will ever know

Verse 3:
The nights are the hardest, when I'm left alone
With thoughts that haunt me, cutting to the bone
I whisper my secrets to the moon above
Hoping to find some semblance of love

Chorus:
So smile on the outside, while crying within
Hiding the agony, covering up the sin
But behind the laughter, the tears still flow
A heartbreak so deep, only I will ever know

Bridge:
I keep searching for a way to heal this broken heart
Yearning for a fresh start, a chance to depart
From the shadows that haunt me, the fears that bind
Seeking a light, a peace of mind

Outro:
So smile on the outside, while crying within
Hiding the agony, covering up the sin
But behind the laughter, the tears still flow
A heartbreak so deep, only I will ever know
