Verse 1:
Walk through these halls, head down, eyes low,
Words cut deep, but I never let it show.
Laughter rings, it stings, but I move on,
Pretend it's okay, act like nothing's wrong.

Chorus:
Smile through the pain, hide the tears like rain,
Standing in the storm, wearing my disguise.
Laugh with those who hurt me, acting like we're buddies,
But behind this smile, my weary heart cries.

Verse 2:
Tomorrow's another day, I'll see their faces again,
Pretend we're all just friends, ignore the pain within.
It's a cycle, never-ending, but I play my part,
Hiding the truth of my bruised and battered heart.

Chorus:
Smile through the pain, hide the tears like rain,
Standing in the storm, wearing my disguise.
Laugh with those who hurt me, acting like we're buddies,
But behind this smile, my weary heart cries.

Bridge:
But I dream of a day when I break free,
From the chains of pretense, the real me they'll see.
A world where kindness reigns, and pain ceases to be,
Where I'm not just surviving, but finally living, truly free.

Chorus:
Smile through the pain, hide the tears like rain,
Standing in the storm, wearing my disguise.
Laugh with those who hurt me, acting like we're buddies,
But behind this smile, my weary heart cries.

Outro:
So I'll keep on smiling, till the day arrives,
When kindness finds its way back into our lives.
Till then, I'll wear my smile, wide and bright,
Hoping for a change, in this endless night.
