Breaking grip

Let me put on this smile
just for now
so I can manage before I have to sleep

Let me laugh and honestly be happy
and leave that sad music
those painful lyrics somewhere I can't find them

Don't let my smile break
away
and melt into tears

Though I feel my body shaking

I'll try and shrug it off
because they don't want to know

that behind my smile
that makes them believe they are helping

My tears are burning like fire
