I SHOW THAT SMILE

I DANCE MY LIFE AWAY

PEOPLE THAT KNOW ME

JUST CALL ME CRAY

***

I GIVE YOU HUGS

I MAKE YOU LAUGH

BUT NO MATTER WHAT

I HAVE YOUR BACK

***

YOU DO NOT REALLY KNOW

THE FEELING I HAVE

OF BEING LOST

OR TAKING A JAB

***

GOOD AT HIDING IT

BUT IT HURTS INSIDE

JUST KNOWING

YOU MAY NOT BE MY SIDE

***

BEEN NEGLECTED

EVERYTHING IS GONE

NOW RUNNING SOLO

AND JUST CARRYING ON

***

STILL SHOWING THAT SMILE

NOT LETTING IT GET TO ME

GOING OUT ON MY OWN

JUST WAIT AND SEE

***

STILL BEING ME

IN THE BEAT OF A DRUM

AND TAKING AWAY

THE FEELING THAT IS NUMB

***

LIKE THEY SAY

EVERYTHING IS OK

JUST GO ABOUT

AND SHAKE IT OFF ANYWAY
