Behind Those Smiles

You will never know what someone is facing in life
Or what someone has been through
Just by seeing his faces
That cuts out those smiles

You will never know of the yearning behind those smiles
You will never know of the struggles behind those smiles
You might call it pretence
But who cares?
We’re in a world where everyman fends for himself
So the only choice you have is to smile
Pretend as if everything is all right

You will never know of the dreams behind those smiles
You will never know of the hopes crushed and
Those reborn behind those smiles
Never judge, because you’ll never know what’s behind those smiles
