1The hurt in your eyes
Don't let them see
The mess you've made of your life
You can't lose your grip
Don't speak your mind
You can't afford to slip
Don't let them find
All of your secrets
You've learned to hide
When you feel so left behind
You hold back your tears
You keep on going through the years
Like everything is gonna be okay
We make it through another day
But you go home and when you are alone
You let everything go
And let the words you can't say
Slide down your face
No one must see you
Falling apart,
The pieces of your heart
Scattered all over the floor
You can't afford
To let them see
That you're falling short
Of everything
So you keep on going
Pretending to be so strong
And you know that you
Might not last too long
But if you're gonna make it
All you gotta do is fake it
Everyone will take it
'Cause no one knows you well enough
To notice that something's up.
