People don't understand me
Because I hide behind a smile
People think I'm perfect and happy
They don't know everything I hide

They try tell me I'm an angel
Their only hope in life
They don't see me in my room
Crying, holding onto a knife

Well that's just him
That's just that her
That's just me
We're all hurt

But the one who seemed so happy and perfect
Had it the worst

A simple smile, a simple nod
Just a facade.

Why do they see me as perfect?
Why can't they just figure out
Maybe it's all a tight woven mask
To hide the fear and all the doubt

Maybe it's just to escape everyone
Maybe it's just to abide
Maybe it's to mask the pain
Of everyday wanting to die

Well that's just him
That's just that her
That's just me
We're all hurt

But the one who seemed so happy and perfect
Had it the worst

A simple smile, a simple nod
Just a facade.

Looking at someone so perfect
You think it's not possible
For them to feel like you are
For them to be hurting worse

Maybe they dress like that to hide
The scars, the burns, the marks on the outside
Maybe they don't want to let it all out
Instead they try to hide

Well that's just him
That's just that her
That's just me
We're all hurt

But the one who seemed so happy and perfect
Had it the worst

A simple smile, a simple nod
Just a facade.

"Just because they seem like an angel, doesn't mean that they fell from heaven, it might just mean they made it out of hell."
