Tears on the Inside

[piano intro] (Verse 1) Behind this smile, there's a storm inside, A world of hurt that I can't hide, I paint on a face, so the world can't see, The tears on the inside, that drown me. (Pre-Chorus) I'm screaming out, but no one hears, Lost in a sea of doubts and fears, I'm drowning in this endless tide, Of tears on the inside. (Chorus) Tears on the inside, silent cries, Behind these bright eyes, a world of lies, I'm falling apart, but I can't show, The tears on the inside, no one will know. (Verse 2) I hold it together, but I'm falling apart, A shattered soul, a broken heart, I smile for the world, but inside I'm breaking, With every step I'm slowly sinking. (Pre-Chorus) I'm screaming out, but no one hears, Lost in a sea of doubts and fears, I'm drowning in this endless tide, Of tears on the inside. (Chorus) Tears on the inside, silent cries, Behind these bright eyes, a world of lies, I'm falling apart, but I can't show, The tears on the inside, no one will know. (Bridge) I'm trapped in this cage of my own making, With no escape, my spirit is aching, I long to break free, to let it out, But the tears on the inside, I can't live without. [outro] (Bridge) I'm trapped in this cage of my own making, With no escape, my spirit is aching, I long to break free, to let it out, But the tears on the inside, I can't live without. [piano] (Chorus) Tears on the inside, silent cries, Behind these bright eyes, a world of lies, I'm falling apart, but I can't show, The tears on the inside, no one will know. (Outro) So I'll keep pretending, I'll keep on smiling, While inside, I'm slowly dying, With every tear that I hide, The tears on the inside, will be my guide. [piano outro] (Outro) So I'll keep pretending, I'll keep on smiling, While inside, I'm slowly dying, With every tear that I hide, The tears on the inside, will be my guide. [piano outro]
