Transcript

Everybody I'm doing just fine I got good most of my life I can sit with I can stay all night But when mine I say I'm alright I don't want your worry I don't want so I smile when getting too near then I find somewhere where I don't have to lie And nobody sees me cry I don't do it for attention I don't need the world I just learned a long time ago How to hurt where it don't show Nobody sees Nobody sees me cry I wait till I'm alone I hold it in till everyone I love is safe at home
