You wake up, paint your smile on,
Look in the mirror.
The pain you hide, deep down inside,
It couldn’t be clearer.
But you don’t let them see.
Each day you go out to the world,
Wanting to break through.
You go on, hoping beyond hope,
But nobody gets you.
But you keep swimming.
Keep your head above the waves that crash around you.
Everything will be okay.
When the darkness closes in, keep holding on.
You can make it fade away.
The eyes that catch your glance each day,
Send looks filled with daggers.
You only wish to give them love,
But that doesn’t matter
If they won’t open their hearts
Keep your head above the waves that crash around you.
Everything will be okay.
When the darkness closes in, keep holding on
To what makes you want to stay.
It may seem calm, deep underneath the waves,
Peaceful and tranquil there.
But if you stay, stay here and bear this pain.
You’ll gain the strength to carry on.
Keep your head above the waves that crash around you.
Everything will be okay.
When the darkness closes in, keep holding.
You can make it fade away.
