Smilin’ on the outside While I’m cryin’ on the inside Why can‘t I just let you know Why is it that I can’t show you Who I really am
Behind my mask, beneath my shell If you look hard you will find A lonely child with a sad sweet smile A special friend of mine That part of me I won’t let you see Unless I know it’s safe Let me open up, let me learn to trust For this, O Lord, I pray
Or I’ll keep smilin’ on the outside While I’m cryin’ on the inside Afraid to let you really know Scared you’d leave me if I showed you Who I really am
