if you break;they'll know everything if i keep my head high
and waltz into the room
laughing
tossing my hair back
you wouldn't see the troubles
that cloud my thoughts

if i fold my hands across my chest
smiling like you just made me
laugh
eyes fixed upon that beautiful
face of yours
you would look back blindly at me

if i told you
i loved you the most
would you believe me
?
probably think i just made you
laugh and laugh along

if i pout my lips ever
so in the right way
let my words do the talking
while i hide my ugliness
behind that fragile heart
where you can't see

if i pretended that i was
as beautiful as you
and we were two of
a kind
would you love me as
yourself?

if i lied to you and said
i loved you with every
fibre of my being
would you finally understand
that i hate you immensely
because i hurt myself loving you?

and

if i hurt myself loving you
could you tell me the truth
and keep me from breaking
apart
because if you break too
they'll know everything
