  3.    ║                                                                        ║
  4.    ║  Sometimes behind this smile, there are rivers of tears.               ║
  5.    ║  I even laugh to keep from crying.  Every now and then                 ║
  6.    ║  a sad look will slip its way in and you'll ask what's                 ║
  7.    ║  wrong, I'll smile and say nothing,                                    ║
  8.    ║                                                                        ║
  9.    ║                          so, don't be fooled by this mask I wear.      ║

  12.    ║  In a crowd, sometimes I'm so alone;                                   ║
  13.    ║  Talking not thinking on the telephone.                                ║
  14.    ║  I look at T.V. through tear filled eyes;                              ║
  15.    ║  I smile through most painful goodbyes,                                ║
  16.    ║                                                                        ║
  17.    ║                          so, don't be fooled by this mask I wear.      ║
  18.    ║                                                                        ║
  19.    ║  I try to help others through thick and thin;                          ║
  20.    ║  To helping others there is no end.                                    ║
  21.    ║  I laugh and joke when the chips are down;                             ║
  22.    ║  But behind this smile (sometimes) there lies a frown,                 ║
  23.    ║                                                                        ║
  24.    ║                          so, don't be fooled by this mask I wear.      ║
  25.    ║                                                                        ║
  26.    ║  My relationship with my lover came to an end;                         ║
  27.    ║  To keep face, I smiled and lifted my chin.                            ║
  28.    ║  I walked in the rain to cover my tears;                               ║
  29.    ║  I sat in the sunlight to hide my fears.                               ║
  30.    ║                                                                        ║
  31.    ║                          so, for Gods sake,                            ║
  32.    ║                          Don't be fooled by this Mask I Wear.          ║
