Always pretending that things are fine,
All you hear is my laughter,
All you see is my smile. (you might try 'shine' here)
But there is more on the inside.
If others were to see me from within,
They would see a different person.
They'll surely find an angry soul, shouting and cursing. (not always, because you pretend - as in v1, also, changes strength)
A broken heart always crying and moaning,
Desperately yearning to feel love's warm touch.
Lost hopes and dreams once filled with life
Have slowly diminished and died.
Such things, of course, I tell no one
Only me, myself, and I
All on the inside.
Smurfiee, I attempted to pull it in a bit, I think it has the same emotive impact, I hope that's okay - it's my take on it and I hope it leaves you with some ideas.
