Tears Behind a Face

[Intro - female airy voice]
Smile in shadows, hide the cracks inside
Paint on a smile, hide what's real
Fighting tears I don’t wanna feel

[Verse 1]
Mask on my face, a quiet disguise
Holding back tears, as the world passes by
Silent battles in the quiet of my mind
Pretending I'm better, peace I hope to find

[Pre-Chorus]
But I wear this armor, it’s just a facade
Hiding my ache, till the pain’s not so hard

[Chorus]
Faking my smile just to keep the peace
Hoping with each lie, the hurt will cease
Keeping it all inside, for the sake of calm
Wearing my strength like a soothing balm

[Verse 2]
Night falls around, but I still pretend
Fighting the silence, lost in the bend
Echoes of truth, I can't say aloud
So I dance with the ghost of the quiet crowd

[Pre-Chorus]
Covering the scars, with a gentle guise
Masking the ache, as the world’s eyes

[Chorus]
Faking my smile just to keep the peace
Hoping with each lie, the hurt will cease
Keeping it all inside, for the sake of calm
Wearing my strength like a soothing balm

[Instrumental - violin, rock guitar and piano]

[Bridge]
Silent tears fall, unspoken and deep
Longing for solace, for peace to keep
But I hold it in, till the dawn
Waiting for the night to be gone

[Outro]
So I mask my pain, in silent grace
Hiding my tears behind a face
Peace I seek, in this fragile guise
Faking I’m fine, through the quiet lies
