Smiling while my heart is breaking Lyrics

Many times life leaves deep scars

As if fate challenges me to keep going

Hiding the pain with a smile I once had

But who would know that inside it's almost collapsing

Does it hurt? Yes, it hurts so much it almost breaks my heart

But I have no right to cry in front of anyone

I have to be strong for everyone who is still watching

Even though inside my heart is beyond repair

Smiling while my heart is breaking, do you know how heavy it is?

Every pain I have to swallow, not letting anyone know

I'm not allowed to be weak even once

So I have to keep standing, even though my heart is collapsing

Every day that passes, I feel like a high wall

Hiding my weakness in a corner where no one can see

The reflection in the mirror still questions

Is this strength worth the suffering?

Does it hurt? Yes, it hurts so much it almost breaks my heart

But I have no right to cry in front of anyone

I have to be strong for everyone who is still watching

Even though inside my heart is beyond repair

Smiling while my heart is breaking, do you know how heavy it is?

Every pain I have to swallow, not letting anyone know

I'm not allowed to be weak even once

So I have to keep standing, even though my heart is collapsing

I want to cry, want to let everything flow away

But it seems this world won't let me be weak

So I have to endure, have to hide my tears inside

For someone who still sees me as strong

Smiling while my heart is breaking, do you know how heavy it is?

Every pain I have to swallow, not letting anyone know

I'm not allowed to be weak even once

So I have to keep standing, even though my heart is collapsing

Smiling while my heart is breaking is the mask I have to wear

Hoping that one day I can let my heart go

Rest from the strength the world forces upon me

And be myself on a day I no longer have to pretend
