Never smile
To cover you lie
That deep inside
You wanna cry
And fall apart
Pull out your hear
And ask it why
It even tried
To get something
When it already knows
It'll always get nothing
And beg it desperateky
To accept it truly
That feeling nothing is good
Despite what it always thought
It so deeply understood
Never smile
But never give up so quickly
Close your heart and open it soon
And discover that the magic soon to follow
Is worth the wait to see
