Behind Guarded Eyes

+11

Just a simple smile
It’s amazing what you can hide
It’s so easy to pretend
With everyone so blind

Just a few small words
It’s all so fake
Am I living in a nightmare?
Or am I awake?

It’s hard to say
How I really feel
Is it a misunderstanding?
Or is it real?

Who to trust
It’s hard to be sure
Who will care?
I’m confused once more

Deep within the soul
The truth lies
Hidden from the world
Behind guarded eyes
