It's Just The Way I Am

I'll put on a brave face, show you I can be brave, though I am dying inside.

I'll even smile for you, just so I can make YOU smile.

I'll tell you I am okay, even though I am so far from that.

I'll thank you with my eyes, lock the tears inside, hide behind the mask.

I'll do all that for you. Because it's just the way I am.
I'll do all that for you. Because after all these years, I owe you that much.
