Smiles from the outside
When we cry
A little of us die
From the inside
She may smile
From the outside
But she's not fine
Masks we wear
Are crumbling to dust
Her brown hair
Flying everywhere
Just tonight
She hold her hand tight
And cries and dies
Just a Little more
Deep inside
Her heart is small
Her eyes are dull
She stares at walls
Until she's null
But soon as she
Sees someone she feels
She smiles
Smiles from the outside
