[Verse 1] Sometimes I wake up all alone and cry How do I live a life I barely recognize? Sometimes I sleep every day away It’s hard to say why the sun won’t stay Gray skies, painted soul, emotions of an echo A soul too young, a cry not heard, a heart grown hollow [Chorus] Trees in the forest hide the pain in my mind Mountains of blue — don’t let them get to you Hiding the pain with a smile Smiling in denial [Verse 2] Sit in my car staring at the sky I'd cry alone, but no more tears to cry The thoughts in my head run me to my grave The thoughts in my head take away my pain But somewhere inside there’s a whisper that calls A softness that rises whenever I fall [Chorus] Trees in the forest hide the pain in my mind Mountains of blue — don’t let them get to you Hiding the pain with a smile Smiling in denial [Bridge] One day I’ll lift my eyes and see The world still has a place for me The shadows pass, the colors stay And maybe hope will find a way If I can breathe through all this ache Then maybe I’ll learn not to break [Final Chorus] Trees in the forest hide the pain in my mind Mountains of blue — but I’ll make it through Hiding the pain with a smile
