Lyrics
When it's all too much
And life won't slow down
You say you can't feel love
Can't even feel the ground
It wouldn't be the same
If you ran instead
Now you don't know your name
From the monsters in your head
And you can pretend that there is nothing wrong
Put on a smile for the world
You'll fool them all
And maybe one day you'll learn
To open your heart again
See you've come too far
To give up it all now
And though it seems so hard
You'll find your way somehow
'Cause all those times you tried
To hide from all your fears
And hold your screams inside
Will someday disappear
And you can pretend that there is nothing wrong
Put on a smile for the world
You'll fool them all
And maybe one day you'll learn
To open your heart again
You can't walk away
From the mistakes you made
Or cover the scars that burn through
But you could be free
And you can pretend that there is nothing wrong
Put on a smile for the world
You'll fool them all
And maybe one day you'll learn
To open your heart again
