my mask :
all though my eye does not shed a tear
my soul cries a river
and as my mind fills with fear
my body starts to quiver
because the words are never spoken
so no one knows that my heart is broken
and as i lie awake at night , when all else is asleep
quietly and out of sight , the tears roll down my cheek
and each day before i set out, to do my daily task
i quietly compose myself , and put on my mask
a smile i put on for all the world to see
so that no one will notice the turmoil inside of me
and as i face the day with all she does for me
i fear that one day she will wake up , and just a bum will see
and as the day drags on and starts to fill with worry
all i want to do is reach out and say that i`m sorry
for all the time that has past , there seems to be no point
cos all i`ve managed to do , is just to disappoint
i feel like such a failure no matter how hard i try
that's why inside my body, my soul starts to cry
so as the river starts to flow, fast and free
every day i hide the pain that burst`s inside of me
how long it will last i really do not know
cos i just can`t seem to stop this terrible flow
i put on my mask to hide all the pain
but some days it just all seems in vain
i put on my mask so that no one would know
but the problem is , the cracks are starting to show
so as the sun rises each and every day
i put on my mask, and be on my merry way
