Behind every smile
There's a sad little child
Who's crying inside
Trying to hide it for a while

Behind every smile
There's someone trying to break through
To show their real selves
To no longer be blue

Behind every smile
There's someone telling a lie
Not allowing anyone to see
All the tears that they've cried

Behind every smile
There's another sad face
Whose suicidal thoughts
Made them fall from grace

Behind every smile
There's somebody real
Who tries to hide their pain
And never show how they really feel

Behind every smile
There's some lost soul
Just waiting to be found
That's their primary goal

Behind every smile
There's a secret being kept
That's killing them inside
And the reason they just wept

Behind every smile
Is someone all alone
Who can't stand the yelling
And wishes to leave their home

Behind every smile
Is a sad little story
That they keep bottled up
And forever will they worry

Behind every smile
There's someone who lost their way
Who puts on a happy face
To get them through each and every day
