On the Outside

I'm only laughing on the outside
my smile is just skin deep
if you could see whats really there
the feelings underneath
maybe you would understand
that even i cry sometimes
thinking over our problems
my life in pieces by my feet.
Its not as simple as it seems
to the naked, untrained eye
the problems go back deeper
further than just you and i
all you have to do is make one stupid mistake
and your life is turned upside down
it stays with you forever
seen in every breath
every smile, every tear
even at that dying moment
it flashes by your eyes
never leaves your memory
never dies away.
