[Verse 1] Somewhere inside She knows how to smile But she's forgotten why This life is worthwhile They took away the sacred And she's lost all of her pride But there's a happy girl Somewhere inside [Chorus ] There's a happy girl hiding There's a smile underneath Buried in layers Of trauma and grief It's just somewhere inside, Somewhere inside Where does it hide? Somewhere inside [Verse 2] Her innocence was robbed Before her teenage years Like a thief in the night Darkness hid the unaware Like a daisy in the wind So fragile, pure and free Before they cut her to the ground Withering in complacency [Chorus ] There's a happy girl hiding There's a smile underneath Buried in layers Of trauma and grief It's just somewhere inside, Somewhere inside Where does it hide? Somewhere inside [Verse 3] Trapped in the quiet shock But swears that she's just fine Confusion stirs and occupies Her anxious, troubled mind Re-playing all the things she hides A false sense of maturity Begins to change her inward view And re-flects so, outwardly [Chorus ] There's a happy girl hiding There's a smile underneath Buried in layers Of trauma and grief It's just somewhere inside, Somewhere inside Where does it hide? Somewhere inside [Bridge] And maybe one day She’ll breathe without fear And know she's not ruined Just scarred through the years And that girl deep inside Is still worthy of light And she'll slowly remember That, she, too, deserves life [Chorus ] There's a happy girl hiding There's a smile underneath Buried in layers Of trauma and grief But it's somewhere inside, Somewhere inside Where does it hide? Somewhere inside [Tag] Somewhere inside She survived Somewhere inside Her smile's still alive
