[Verse 1]
The mirror knows
It sees it all
Behind these eyes
A silent call
I paint my face
I play the part
But the cracks are carving through my heart
[Prechorus]
Do you see me
Or just the mask
Is it too much
Is it too much to ask
[Chorus]
Behind the smile
There's a storm inside
I laugh so loud
But I wanna hide
Every joke
Every grin
Just a thin disguise
Behind the smile
The truth cries
[Verse 2 - Rap]
The spotlight hits
I’m center stage
But inside
I'm trapped in a cage
Lines rehearsed
My script's on lock
But the pain keeps ticking like a broken clock
Silent screams in a crowded room
Smiling flowers hiding gloom
[Chorus]
Behind the smile
There's a storm inside
I laugh so loud
But I wanna hide
Every joke
Every grin
Just a thin disguise
Behind the smile
The truth cries
[Bridge]
If I let it slip
Would they run away
Would the world still turn if I broke today
I’m a house of cards
I’m a thread unwound
But I can’t let the world see me break down
