Laugh It Off
You’d never guess
what she went through
You let her laugh it off
you'd never know
that every day to breathe
is a battle
and a war
you let her laugh it off
you’ll never know
what hides behind
that beautiful smile
because
you didn’t take the time
to see
how many times
with her smile break
Before you see
the tears in her eyes
how many extra miles
will she go
just to get by
you never see
the pretty little lines
so straight and clean
you’d never notice
the pain in her eyes
because shell smile
and you’ll Let her laugh it off
You stood so blind
To every time
she tried
to reach out for you
how many times
will her small break
before you see
the tears in her eyes
how many extra miles
will she go
just to get by
You can’t see
what you’re looking for
when you’re blind
you can’t listen
when you don’t
want to hear
you turned your back
on her smile
you want blind
when she stood
in front of you
you never heard her
screaming for you
you let her laugh it off
how many times will she break
before you see
her pain
how far will she go
to find someone to stop her
every day shed scream
“someone
please save me
from this life
I don’t want to hurt
anymore
can you hear me
are you listening
can you see me
will you look
I don’t want to
smile
anymore
someone
anyone
save me
from myself”
And you sit
and wonder why
she isn’t smiling
anymore
why you can’t see
the pain
on her face
and she lies so still
on her bed
not hearing your screams
she’s not laughing anymore
