We keep up appearances,
While inside we're dying.
We keep up appearances,
While all night we're crying.
We keep up appearances,
While phones get shut off.
We keep up appearances,
While the heat is not enough.
All night we cry.
All night we freeze.
We pretend to have life
When we'd rather just die.
We keep up appearances,
In this cold and dark place.
We keep up appearances,
In this long and hard race.
We keep up appearances,
As we search for love.
We keep up appearances,
As we pretend we are above.
