If Only You Knew
Behind my smile if only you knew
How very deeply I love you
And the life we’ve made our own
I haven’t the courage to go on alone
Sure for your benefit I put on airs
And act strong through my layers
I try to deal as best I may
And keep my inside tears at bay
I may stand here and look stoic
But my feelings are less heroic
I mask the vulnerability inside
So you won’t see the fear I hide
