I've been called many nicknames before It wasn't good in the ears
It came from people I dear the most
It hurts but I don't complain
I smile and get an earful
The inly thing that I can do;

Smile and Smile bigger
Nobody knows it hurts
Let everybody knows I'm bad
Beneath that ugly face
A lonely girl with a tear

Lies beneath that smile,
A dark past with bad memories
All I could do is laugh at their jokes
Smile like it doesn't affect me
Cause if they see that weak child
They'll tease until I break down

I put an upfront
Nobody can see past it
I'll guard it tightly So, nobody can pass The barrier between
Happiness and emptiness
A defense, for incoming
A barrier, they can't cross
A mask, I created
