I Still Sing This Song

I face the world with a smile, no one knows what is hid inside.
They see only happiness, they cant see the tears I've cried.

When I am alone I hurt, because here I do it well.
In front of all the watchful eyes my heaven turns to hell.


The judge and jury awaits me, everyone has a say.
In a life that hangs suspended for yet another day.


Who are they to judge if what I have done is right or wrong?
In the end I gave everything up & inside still I sing this song.


I don't know how to find the strength I thought I had.
If only I could play tough it wouldn't be so bad.


They say that life goes on and someday I'll smile again.
But, how do they know where I've been without knowing my pain? 


I've traveled so far from home, and can't find my way back
Somewhere along the way I must have jumped the track.


I saw myself just today and my smile is still the same.
I looked at me so sweetly, but never spoke my name.


I wonder if I am required, It hasn't been that long.
I may have been forgotten, but I still sing this song.
