[Verse 1]
I fold my smile by noon
Like shirts in a drawer
I keep my bad days small
So they fit in your hall
You ask if I'm okay
I say, "I'm just tired"
But my hands shake under
The grocery bags
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to spell it out
I don't want the whole thing loud
If you know me like you say
Then read between the lines
[Chorus]
Read my face
Read my face
I won't say it first
Read my face
Read my face
Feel the hurt I hide
[Verse 2]
The sink is full again
The mail sits unopened
I keep the curtains drawn
Till the afternoon is gone
I laugh at the right times
I nod at the right times
But my chest keeps sending
The same old signal
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want to spell it out
I don't want the whole thing loud
If you know me like you say
Then read between the lines
[Chorus]
Read my face
Read my face
I won't say it first
Read my face
Read my face
Feel the hurt I hide
[Bridge]
Maybe I can't ask for help
With the words all tangled up
Maybe I just need your hand
On the days I go numb
[Chorus]
Read my face
Read my face
I won't say it first
Read my face
Read my face
Stay here when I hide
