Smile on the outside

Yeah…

You see me smile… but you don’t see the fight inside…

Mmm… yeah…

⸻

Wake up, fake the glow again,

Brush off the pain, pretend I win,

Postin’ pictures, sayin’ “livin’ good,”

But the truth don’t look like it should.

Crowds around me, still feel alone,

Heart so heavy, it’s made of stone,

Lord, I’m tryna find some peace tonight,

But I’m losin’ my will to fight.

⸻

I keep it cool so they don’t know,

Drownin’ deep where the dark tides go…

⸻

I’m smiling on the outside,

But inside I’m breakin’ down,

They see me laughin’,

But they don’t hear the sound—

Of my doubts, my pain, my fear collide,

A war I’m fightin’ just to survive,

Yeah, I’m smiling on the outside,

But I’m lost somewhere inside.

⸻

Late nights, can’t sleep, mind racin’,

Lookin’ for light, heart pacin’,

Tears fall, but I hide ‘em deep,

Too proud to show the scars I keep.

I pray, “Lord, can You pull me through?”

I’m tired of actin’ like I’m cool,

If You’re there, please take control,

I can’t fake what’s killin’ my soul.

⸻

I keep it strong but I’m breakin’ slow,

Tryna find the peace I used to know…

⸻

I’m smiling on the outside,

But inside I’m breakin’ down,

They see me laughin’,

But they don’t hear the sound—

Of my doubts, my pain, my fear collide,

A war I’m fightin’ just to survive,

Yeah, I’m smiling on the outside,

But I’m lost somewhere inside.

⸻

Take this pain, take this mask away,

Lord, I’m tired of the games I play,

You see my truth, You know my cry,

You’re the reason I’m still alive.

⸻

I was smiling on the outside,

But You healed me deep within,

Turned my darkness into sunrise,

Brought my broken heart to win.

No more hiding, no disguise,

You put hope back in my eyes,

Now I’m smiling on the outside,

‘Cause Your love’s alive inside.

⸻

Yeah…

Smiling on the outside now…

But this time, it’s real…

Yeah…
