You don't know me, not at all

What you thought, what you see

It's a facade, can't you tell?

I hide my pain, distress, and worry

I cover it all with a smile and an "I'm alright"

The truth is a secret I've buried deep

Sometimes when I pretend, it is all right

You don't know me, if you did maybe you wouldn't like me

All the pain and distress and worry makes me a monster

Someone I'm scared to unleash but holding it back gets harder and harder

The secrets I've been working hard to keep are coming, spilling out

I'm losing everything, maybe even myself

The world I used to know is slipping, disappearing

The truth is my father's leaving, can't you tell?

The law says he's done wrong so he's being deported

My pain is the loss I'll soon feel

My distress is will I be able to adjust 

My worry is what will happen to me, my family?

You don't know me, if you did you'd know all this

but all you know is that I'm fine

It's a secret I'll keep hidden away
