Suffering in silence
--------------------

Behind my smile I suffer silently.
There's no one who can help me through this pain
and I will not allow it to be seen.

It would be pointless to try to explain
because there's no one who can understand.
There's no one who can help me through this pain.

Unsure how long ago this pain began,
now in the mirror death is all I see,
because there's no one who can understand

just how much this is hurting me. I see
so many people happy and alive,
but in the mirror death is all I see.

I've lost the will to try, the will to strive,
for what seems lost forever to me now.
So many people happy and alive.

They mock me with the faith heard in their vows.
Behind my smile I suffer silently
for what seems lost forever to me now
and I will not allow it to be seen.
