They think I'm strong,
they think I'm fine
But strength can wear a thin disguise
They see the grin,
not what it hides The breaking waves behind my eyes
I hold a mask
with practice grace A fragile shield across my face
I'm not as frail as I
appear
Each smile a veil, each laugh unclear
Strength is sometimes just a lay
A brave front made to keep away
Not a
warrior's roar
I'm not as whole
as I appear
Each smile a veil, each laugh unclear
Strength is sometimes just a lay A brave front made to keep away
