Behind His Smile

Verse 1:
He walks in, perfect lines, rehearsed,
A charming grin, his laughter’s cursed.
Speaks of sorrow, says he’s changed,
But I’ve seen the game, I’ve felt the range.

Pre-Chorus:
I watch him close, I see it all,
The way he stumbles just to make hearts fall.
They don’t see the cracks, the lies, the show,
But I do, always, I always know.

Chorus:
Behind his smile, there’s a storm I’ve known,
A shadow of hurt he hides as his own.
He steals hearts while wearing a mask,
I see through him, I know the task.
Behind his smile, he’s not what they think,
The truth is darker, closer to the brink.

Verse 2:
The sweet words fall like poisoned rain,
But I feel the weight, the undertow of pain.
He says he’s sorry, begs for trust,
But I’ve walked the path where promises rust.

Pre-Chorus:
I’m not the fool, I’ve been awake,
Saw him breaking the hearts he’ll take.
They might forgive, forget, pretend,
But I’ll be here, watching to the end.

Chorus:
Behind his smile, there’s a storm I’ve known,
A shadow of hurt he hides as his own.
He steals hearts while wearing a mask,
I see through him, I know the task.
Behind his smile, he’s not what they think,
The truth is darker, closer to the brink.

Bridge:
I won’t say it, I won’t interfere,
But the truth is loud, even if they don’t hear.
I hold my tongue, I bear the pain,
I see him clear, through sun and rain.

Chorus/Outro:
Behind his smile, there’s a storm I’ve known,
A shadow of hurt he hides as his own.
He steals hearts while wearing a mask,
I see through him, I know the task.
Behind his smile, he’s not what they think,
I’ll guard the heart, even at the brink.
