Smile again
Shy 2005 (East London)
Pain is like a shadow, it follows you around
Haunting your steps, it can never be found
It's like a weight, that's pressing down on you
Making it hard, to stand tall and be true
People try to hide it, with a mask so bright
Putting on a show, of happiness in sight
But deep down inside, they're feeling the pain
Hoping it will go away, so they can smile again.
