I tried the best to my ability
And I thought for a second, I could succeed
But it all became undone at the seams
When you began to ignore me

I can no longer stand by your side
Without annoyance in your eyes
And I don't know what caused this divide
Was it you or something that I tried?

It's hard to hide when your heart breaks
The world knows by the look on your face
They keep on asking question like 'Are you okay?'
And what exactly am I supposed to say

When everyone is happy
And so proud of you
For having the courage
To do what I couldn't do
And I know
I should also act happy
But how can I
When I have no reason to be

When I was told, I was breathless
And in that moment, my dreams were worthless
If I had been a little less careless
Then I might have been the reason for your happiness

It's hard to hide when your heart breaks
The world knows by the look on your face
They keep on asking question like 'Are you okay?'
And what exactly am I supposed to say

When everyone is happy
And so proud of you
For having the courage
To do what I couldn't do
And I know
I should also act happy
But how can I
When I have no reason to be

I feel alone as I look around room
Seeing all the smiles directed towards you
So I try to stop the tears coming through
And to act as if I am happy too

It's hard to hide when your heart breaks
And when you come to realize all your mistakes
When she asks if I'm going to be okay
I say yes when I really want to say

Everyone is happy
For the both of you
And for his courage
To do what I couldn't do
And I know
I should also act happy
But how can I
When I have no reason to be
