What Lies Beneath

A masquerade of strength and solidarity
 A smile concealing the pain
 No one will know what you're going through
 If you just keep playing the game

 Don't let anyone close enough
 To see behind those eyes
 They'll see what you've been hiding
 They'll see through your disguise

If they knew the true condition
 Of your deepest inner heart
 Their sadness would overwhelm you
 Your facade would fall apart

There's not a soul that would understand
 Nor would they ever believe
 The links that we go through
 To hide the pain of what lies beneath
