Just Keep Smiling

Just keep smiling,
Even if you're lying,
No one will notice,
If you're not around.

Just keep smiling,
They can't see you dying,
You keep it buried,
Deep down inside.

Just keep smiling,
Stop before you're crying,
Emotion is too different,
Pretend to be fine.

Just keep smiling,
It's hard to keep on trying,
Soon you'll be alone,
To let it all fly.
