Behind this mask of beauty There are feelings you don't see
Behind the smile on my face You will find the pain in me
You may see a happy person Look deeper into my eyes
See the pain I want to let go of Reach deep inside
There are feelings there That no one has seen
So reach deep into my heart And get to know the true me
My feelings of happiness Of understanding why I care
You will also see the emptiness Which no one knew was there
