No One Will Know (Put Your Smile On)

I'm very proud of these lyrics probably the best I've ever written.

No One Will Know by Jordan Clermont

You say you've been beaten battered and thrown around,
You've been lifted up just to be dropped down,
You've been homeless wandering from town to town,
You say you lost yourself and you have not been found,
Your lifeless and you feel you've lost your soul,
Just don't forget to put on your smile,
And no one will know

You tell me that your cry yourself to sleep,
That you only take the lovers you can't keep,
That you're a starving wolf in a herd of sheep,
You would escape if the mountain wasn't so steep,
You say you're only half alive and its starting to show,
Just put on your smile every morning,
And no one will know

I heard you say you've grown to love the feel of pain,
It reassures you that you still are sane,
You stare death in the eyes you know you can't die again,
You're just a shade of gray on an artist's plain,
You wish to be buried beneath the snow,
But you just put on your smile,
So that no one will know

Don't tell me what you think I want to hear,
I am one of the few things you need not fear,
Don't dress up your words just say it clear,
I did not come to fill up on your tears,
Just tell me everything delicate and slow,
Then put your smile back on,
And only I will I know
