Behind His Smile

Verse 1:

He walks in, perfect lines, rehearsed,

A charming grin, his laughter’s cursed.

Speaks of sorrow, says he’s changed,

But I’ve seen the game, I’ve felt the range.

Pre-Chorus:

I watch him close, I see it all,

The way he stumbles just to make hearts fall.

They don’t see the cracks, the lies, the show,

But I do, always, I always know.

Chorus:

Behind his smile, there’s a storm I’ve known,

A shadow of hurt he hides as his own.

He steals hearts while wearing a mask,

I see through him, I know the task.

Behind his smile, he’s not what they think,

The truth is darker, closer to the brink.

Verse 2:

The sweet words fall like poisoned rain,

But I feel the weight, the undertow of pain.

He says he’s sorry, begs for trust,

But I’ve walked the path where promises rust.

Pre-Chorus:

I’m not the fool, I’ve been awake,

Saw him breaking the hearts he’ll take.

They might forgive, forget, pretend,

But I’ll be here, watching to the end.

Chorus:

Behind his smile, there’s a storm I’ve known,

A shadow of hurt he hides as his own.

He steals hearts while wearing a mask,

I see through him, I know the task.

Behind his smile, he’s not what they think,

The truth is darker, closer to the brink.

Bridge:

I won’t say it, I won’t interfere,

But the truth is loud, even if they don’t hear.

I hold my tongue, I bear the pain,

I see him clear, through sun and rain.

Chorus/Outro:

Behind his smile, there’s a storm I’ve known,

A shadow of hurt he hides as his own.

He steals hearts while wearing a mask,

I see through him, I know the task.

Behind his smile, he’s not what they think,

I’ll guard the heart, even at the brink.
