Do you see the sadness in mine eyes,
As I hide behind a painted smile,
Can you sense the sorrow,
Swelling up inside,
Hear my laughter,
Or can you sense the fear behind,
Find the truth about my feelings,
Or are they shrouded in the lies,
Do you believe what you see about me,
Or can you see much deeper,
Beyond the painted smiles,
And fake laughter,
To where the sorrow dwells,
To where the sadness starts,
Deep within a broken heart,
Can you see that far?
Or are you like the others,
Fooled by the painted smile,
The forced laughter,
Where your eyes will never find,
The sorrow deep inside.
