Joy's soft texture
Love's sugar sweet taste
The pain and sorrow of lost hopes?
A flavour we knew with too much haste.
A childhood forgotten
Wishing it away
Hoping we can find our dreams
Praying to be okay.
Painting on this coat
This front for all your friends
Knowing what you're hiding
But hoping it doesn't end
Because if they ever knew
If they saw your broken side
They would think you far too shattered
To pretend everything's fine
Maybe they are right
Maybe they are wrong
It doesn't matter now
You've been hiding for far too long
Don't show your broken side
Keep on acting like you're fine
Joy will keep running away
So block out all love's light.
Don't try to taste the sweetness
Your framing is too dull
Hide from all the ones that care
But this will never make you full.
