[Verse 1]
She wears her heart like a veil, soft and thin,
You’d never know the quiet battles within.
In crowded rooms, she shines like a light,
Hiding the storms that rage through the night.
She laughs the loudest, loves the most,
Raising a glass, always ready to toast,
But when she’s alone, she fades like the tide,
Keeping her sorrow tucked deep inside.
[Chorus]
And she’s got a smile on the outside, a warmth so bright,
Making sure the world stays a little more light.
She knows what it means to feel all alone,
So she gives her heart just to make them feel home.
Yeah, she’s got a smile on the outside, but tears inside,
Hiding her shadows, in strangers’ eyes.
[Verse 2]
He sees himself in a stranger’s face,
Holding them close in an endless embrace.
He remembers the feeling, sharp and cold,
When the world went quiet, and the nights got old.
And he’ll give the shirt right off his back,
Never counting what he lacks,
'Cause he’s seen the depths of despair’s heavy weight,
So he’d rather lift others than share his own fate.
[Chorus]
And he’s got a smile on the outside, a warmth so bright,
Making sure the world stays a little more light.
He knows what it means to feel all alone,
So he gives his heart just to make them feel home.
Yeah, he’s got a smile on the outside, but tears inside,
Hiding his shadows, in strangers’ eyes.
[Bridge]
Sometimes the kindest souls carry the most weight,
They know what it’s like when hope comes late.
They’re the keepers of love, the holders of light,
Bringing warmth to the coldest of nights.
But oh, when they’re tired, and the world seems too wide,
Who’ll be the ones to stand by their side?
[Chorus]
They’ve got smiles on the outside, a warmth so bright,
Keeping the world just a little more light.
They know what it’s like to feel all alone,
So they give their hearts to make others feel home.
Yeah, they’ve got smiles on the outside, but tears inside,
Hiding their shadows, in strangers’ eyes.
[Outro]
So if you see someone who laughs the loudest, stands so tall,
Remember they’ve felt the hardest fall.
They carry a kindness born from the fight,
Leaving a trail of love in the dark of the night.
