All they can see is the fake smile
As tears just flow on deep inside
The hidden pain of feeling vile
Old secrets words never confide
Unseen, the tears are real and mine
The tattered remnants of sweet love
I tell you again ‘I am fine’
I dare not speak the truth thereof
The love that stole my heart away
With promises that came to nix
The tears still flow again today
A broken heart that none can fix
