If you knew the way my heart breaks,
Every time you say my name,
Would you still smile like you do?
Would your light still shine the same?
I hide the cracks, I paint them gold,
So you won’t see the pieces fall.
I build a wall so you won’t know,
How I’ve been drowning through it all.
If you knew the pain I keep inside,
Would you still look at me with those gentle eyes?
If you saw the battles I had to fight,
Would you still hold me close and never say goodbye?
I know that love is meant to heal,
So I refuse to let you break.
Even if it means I suffer,
I’ll take it all, for your sake.
One day the truth might find its way,
And you’ll see the wounds I’ve hidden away.
But if it means you’re happy now,
I’d still choose to fade somehow.
If you knew the pain I keep inside,
Would you still look at me with those gentle eyes?
