| HIDE BEHIND A SMILE Some days just don't seem to end The only thing I need is a friend Someone just to hold me close So I don't feel quite so lonely Will there ever come a day When my heart feels completely safe? I live my life, trying not to go under Still, there are things I wonder I do my best to remain happy But sometimes it's a struggle just to be Seems there will be no refuge for awhile So I'll hide behind a smile Many people think I'm false When I make a mistake and shrug it off They say "how can you let that go?" But they don't understand that's all I know Why is it never good enough to just be me Even when my heart's out on my sleeve? I live my life, trying not to go under Still, there are things I wonder I do my best to remain happy But sometimes it's a struggle just to be Seems there will be no refuge for awhile So I'll hide behind a smile Even good intentions don't count for much Yet I still give away my love and trust Though sometimes I don't know why I even try When no one sees there is more than meets the eye I live my life, trying not to go under Still, there are things I wonder I do my best to remain happy But sometimes it's a struggle just to be Seems there will be no refuge for awhile So I'll hide behind a smile Shannon Miller 2/4/03 |
