Original Lyrics by J.Lynn


I wake up with the sunrise, another day to face,
Put on my boots and hat, but I can’t find my place.
With every step I take, I’m just playing a role,
Whispering to the wind that’s blowing through my soul.

But there’s a storm inside me, raging like a sea,
And no one seems to notice how hard it is to breathe.

So I'll wear this painted smile, hide the tears behind my eyes,
While the world keeps spinning on, I’ll keep living these lies.
Oh, if they only knew me—what’s hidden in the dark—
That beneath this mask of laughter beats a broken heart. (a broken heart.)

At the local diner table where we share our dreams and fears,
I laugh along with stories while I choke back all my tears.
The jukebox plays our favorite song; it feels so bittersweet—
I’m dancing in my silence while I'm drowning in defeat.

But when night falls softly and shadows start to creep,
I’m left alone with memories that haunt me in my sleep.

So I'll wear this painted smile, hide the tears behind my eyes,
While the world keeps spinning on, I’ll keep living these lies.
Oh, if they only knew me—what's hidden in the dark—
That beneath this mask of laughter beats a broken heart. (a broken heart.)

Maybe one day I'll find courage enough to say:
"I’m not okay," but for now I’ll play this masquerade.
Holding onto hope like it’s an old friend of mine;
Searching for a way out from this prison of design.

So I'll wear this painted smile, hide the tears behind my eyes,
While the world keeps spinning on; I’ll keep living these lies.
Oh if they only knew me—what's hidden in the dark—
That beneath this mask of laughter beats a broken heart. (a broken heart.)

Behind this painted smile lies a story untold...
A weary heart still searching for warmth against the cold…
But maybe one day soon—I’ll let them see inside;
Until then it's just me and this lonely pride...
