I see the pain in your eyes
You try to cover them with smiles
I see you are sad deep inside
The light dims in your eyes

I want you to know
I do not expect too much from you
You can hide your pain from the world
Certainly not from the walls

I will never mock at you
for making wrong choices
Maybe it's too much for you
I understand and I'll always do
