Hurts Anyway

[Verse] Smile’s a shield I wear so tight Fake sunshine in the dead of night But shadows creep they won’t let go Pain’s a seed that starts to grow [Chorus] I laugh I dance I play the part But it’s a storm inside my heart No matter how I shine today It hurts it hurts it hurts anyway [Verse 2] Mirror lies I paint my face Hiding cracks I can’t erase The world sees light they cheer my name But inside burns a quiet flame [Chorus] I laugh I dance I play the part But it’s a storm inside my heart No matter how I shine today It hurts it hurts it hurts anyway [Bridge] I build a wall so no one sees The weight that’s crushing down on me A perfect act I give the crowd But silence screams it’s far too loud [Chorus] I laugh I dance I play the part But it’s a storm inside my heart No matter how I shine today It hurts it hurts it hurts anyway
