Lyrics
(VERSE 1)
SHE MAKES BELIEVE
THINGS ARE GOOD AS CAN BE
THOUGH LIFE FOR HER HAS NOT BEEN KIND
PRETENDING LIFE'S OK
HELPS HER FACE ANOTHER DAY
SHE SMILES AND SAYS THINGS ARE JUST FINE
BUT THINGS ARE NOT
AS THEY APPEAR
FOR NO ONE SEES THE HIDDEN TEARS
(CHORUS 1)
FEELING PAIN AND ALL THE WHILE
SHE HIDES IT ALL BEHIND HER SMILE
MAKING SURE THROUGH THE YEARS
NO ONE SEES THE HIDDEN TEARS
ONLY IN HER HIDING PLACE
SHE TAKES THE MASK FROM HER FACE
ALONE WITH NO ONE NEAR
SHE CRIES THE HIDDEN TEARS
(VERSE 2)
SHE DID NOT CHOOSE
A LIFE OF BEING USED
BUT THAT'S THE LIFE SHE'S COME TO KNOW
AND THOUGH SHE'S BEEN BURNED
SHE STILL HAS NEVER LEARNED
THERE IS A TIME FOR LETTING GO
AT TIMES THE HURT
HAS BEEN SEVERE
STILL NO ONE SEES THE HIDDEN TEARS
(CHORUS 2)
FEELING PAIN AND ALL THE WHILE
SHE HIDES IT ALL BEHIND HER SMILE
MAKING SURE THROUGH THE YEARS
NO ONE SEES THE HIDDEN TEARS
ONLY IN HER HIDING PLACE
SHE TAKES THE MASK FROM HER FACE
ALONE WITH NO ONE NEAR
SHE CRIES THE HIDDEN TEARS
THINGS ARE NOT AS THEY APPEAR
NOBODY SEES THE HIDDEN TEARS
SHE CRIES THE HIDDEN TEARS
