Yeah… yeah… I’m alright… I’m alright… I laugh a little louder now Say I don’t need you somehow Tell my friends I’m doing fine Every single time I walk like nothing’s wrong Sing along to every song But every step I take tonight Feels like goodbye Every “I’m okay” I say Pushes all the truth away And it hurts… more each day I’m smiling on the outside[ Breaking on the inside Dancing through the tears I hide All night, all night They see me in the spotlight Thinking that my heart’s right But I’m barely holding life Behind the smile Oh-oh, nobody know Oh-oh, how it broke Oh-oh, I let it show[ Only when I’m alone Your shadow follows me In every memory Your name still lives somewhere In the air I tried to let you go But my heart don’t listen, no So I wear this mask again And just pretend y the part With a shattered heart I’m smiling on the outside Breaking on the inside Dancing through the tears I hide All night, all night They see me in the spotlight Thinking that my heart’s right But I’m barely holding life Behind the smile Oh-oh, nobody knows Oh-oh, how it broke Oh-oh, I let it show Only when I’m alone When the lights go down And there’s no one now I fall to the truth I deny I’m strong for the crowd But without the sound I’m just a man who still cries I’m smiling on the outside Crying on the inside Holding all the pieces tight All night, all night They see me in the spotlight Thinking that I’m alright But I’m barely alive Behind the smile Oh-oh… nobody knows Oh-oh… how it broke I’m smiling… Behind the smile.
