Smile For The Camera

smile for the camera
and swallow all your tears
get yourself together
then go and face your fears

hide what you feel inside
so no one else can see
make them think you're happy
when its help you really need

even though you may
have a storm in your heart
none of it can surface
because you must play your part

this world is all mixed up
to give you such a task
to make you keep your feelings
locked behind a mask

just grit your teeth and go
because thats the way it is
you cant even say no
so you just have to

smile for the camera
and swallow all your tears
get yourself together
then go and face your fears
