I’ve become an expert
At hiding what I feel.
No one would suspect
What emotions are real.
I’m excellent at acting,
Being totally fake.
I’m tough on the outside.
Only inside do I break.

Chorus:
I swear I will never
Let anyone see.
I promise I won’t
Let someone get too close to me.
I can never
Ever be real.
No one must know
How I really feel.

I hate to cry
Except when no one is around.
Only when I’m alone
Do I let my wall break down.
I bury any weakness.
I’m not weak, I’m strong.
In this act of mine,
Tears don’t belong.

Chorus:
I swear I will never
Let anyone see.
I promise I won’t
Let someone get too close to me.
I can never
Ever be real.
No one must know
How I really feel.

When I’m by myself
I’m weak as can be.
Anywhere else
I’m strong don’t you see.
No one knows
The real me.
That I will never
Let anyone see.

Chorus:
I swear I will never
Let anyone see.
I promise I won’t
Let someone get too close to me.
I can never
Ever be real.
No one must know
How I really feel.  ©
