Perfect Actor

Every day I put on a smile,
And say that everything is fine.
When all I want to do is frown,
As I die a little inside.

I can be the perfect actor,
I can make people believe that I feel something, while I feel the opposite.
But hey it makes them feel better,
And that's all that matters, right?

I might be able to put on a show in front of people,
But when I'm alone I break down.
But they will know that,
I'll just keep smiling when all I want to do is frown.

I can be a perfect actor,
I can smile when I want to cry and frown.
But one thing that gives me away is my eyes.
They show that I'm not happy,
They show me being hold under water, as I drown.

No one realizes that I feel the opposite of what I show,
I guess that I'm just the most perfect actor.
Every day I can put on a smile,
And say that everything is fine.
When all I want to do is frown,
As I die a little more inside.
