“I Could Smile”

Oh I could smile
Pretend that it was okay
And I could laugh
Make believe that I was fine
But it would all be a lie

And if my charade
Went on for very long
With a smile
Maybe I could make
Myself believe it’s true

So I will smile
Act on my instincts
Make you all believe
That I am alright

And when I’m alone
My smile will fade away
I’ll turn the lights down low
The music playing softly

When I’m alone
The tears will flow so freely
Where there is no one
To see me crying
