 My Secret Place

The Lie


I put on a happy face
  And speak cheerful words
I tell jokes and laugh
  And act high as the birds

I tell silly stories
  Play around and act the fool
Hiding the truth inside
  Never losing my cool

Smiles make people happy
  Everyone loves a clown
Laughter is the best medicine
  And I'm the biggest fake in town

If I don't laugh
  I will break down and cry
To do that means insanity
  So I'll keep living the lie

Need a good joke?
  Let me spread some cheer
Need someone to listen?
  You can bend my ear

I'm not ready to fall yet
  It's not my turn to cry
I'm still here for you
  Still living the lie
