Keep it calm, keep it clean No one sees what’s underneath They say, “Boy, just hold your ground” “Don’t let them see you breaking down” So I fix my face, I play my part With shaking hands and a racing heart Every word I never say Echoes louder anyway I laugh it off, I fake the light While something’s tearing me inside If they look close, they might see through So I do what I was taught to do Smile like it’s fine - like nothing’s wrong Like I’ve been steady all along Hide every crack, every line Smile like it’s fine Smile like it’s real - don’t let it show There’s a war I never let them know Bleeding out behind my eyes But I smile… like it’s fine Same old streets, same old lies Different masks, different nights Every mirror knows the truth But I don’t let it slip to you Voices call me from the past Moments I can’t make them last Every memory replays Like a ghost I can’t erase If I stop now, I might fall through So I keep doing what I do Smile like it’s fine - like nothing’s wrong Like I’ve been stronger all along Hide every scar, every sign Smile like it’s fine Smile like it’s real - don’t let it show There’s a storm they’ll never know Drowning deep behind my eyes But I smile… like it’s fine Oh, no - don’t let it break Hold it in for their own sake Oh, no - don’t lose control Let them think you’re whole Smile like it’s fine - just one more night Pretend I’m winning this silent fight If I fall, I’ll draw the line But I’ll smile… like it’s fine Keep it calm… keep it clean… No one knows what’s underneath…
