Keep Smiling

Nobody sees, the storm inside.

They don't see, the pain you hide.

All people see, is the mask.

So they never, think to ask.

Oh, they think they know you,

But they never really do.

Well,

Even if you want to stop try-ing,

Even when you're sick of ly-ing,

You have to keep smi-ling, smi-ling.

Even if inside your dy-ing,

Even when you feel like cry-ing,

You have to keep smi-ling, smi-ling, Oh,

So they never know.

It's hard for them to empathize,

When they just don't realize,

How crippling, it can be,

To live with pain, none can see

Oh, they tell you that you're fine,

Like they can see inside your mind.

But,

Even if you want to stop try-ing,

Even when you're sick of ly-ing,

You have to keep smi-ling, smi-ling.

Even if inside your dy-ing,

Even when you feel like cry-ing,

You have to keep smi-ling, smi-ling, Oh,

So they never know.

No one likes a downer.

No one wants a frowner. So,

Don't let your fears show.

Don't let your tears flow.

Don't give in to woe.

Don't let the world know.

Because they don't really care.

And you know, life's not fair.

So keep smiling, just keep smiling,

Never stop smiling.
