[Verse 1]
I wake to f***t another day,
Same old mask, the same old play.
I take the blame, I take the fall,
And no one ever sees it all.
They talk, I listen, never speak,
They call it strength — I call it weak.
Every wound I hide inside,
Burns beneath this quiet pride.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve heard the words, I’ve felt the scars,
They fade but never stay too far.
And I don’t know how much is left,
When giving takes my every breath.
[Chorus]
Behind my smile, I’m breaking down,
Screaming loud without a sound.
They’ll never know, they’ll never see,
The w*r that’s tearing inside of me.
Behind my smile, I fade away,
A dying light at end of day.
[Verse 2]
Their eyes are cold, their hearts are blind,
They love the mask I leave behind.
No one asks what’s true or fake,
Just take my peace for what they take.
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep it calm, I play the part,
But silence eats the beating heart.
And though I stand, I’m on my knees,
Drowning slow in memories.
[Chorus]
Behind my smile, I’m breaking down,
Screaming loud without a sound.
They’ll never know, they’ll never see,
The fire b*****g inside of me.
Behind my smile, I fade away,
But still I f***t another day.
[Bridge] (instrumental build-up / scream layer)
And I don’t want to hate this way,
But love’s been lost and led astray.
I gave it all, I lost control,
Now I’m a ghost of what they stole.
[Final Chorus]
Behind my smile, I’m breaking down,
Still I rise, but still I d***n.
They’ll never know, they’ll never see,
What living d**d feels like to me.
Behind my smile, I’m still the same—
A soul that bleeds but takes the blame.
(Outro – fading echo)
Yeah… behind my smile…
Behind my smile…
Yeah… in my eyes…
