**Verse 1**
I laugh a little louder now
So no one hears the breaking sound
I say I’m good, I say I’m strong
But I’ve been hurting all along
Pictures say I’m doing great
But they don’t show the mess I hide
I learned to fake it every day
While something in me slowly dies
---
**Pre-Chorus**
If tears could talk, they’d tell the truth
But I just smile like I’m bulletproof
---
**Chorus**
I’m the happiest girl you’ll ever see
With a heart that’s barely beating
I shine so bright on the outside
But inside I’m slowly bleeding
If you look close, you might find
All the cracks I try to hide
I play the part so perfectly
The happiest girl… is breaking quietly
---
**Verse 2**
I keep your name inside my chest
Like a secret I can’t confess
You moved on like it was easy
While I’m stuck in memories
I still hear your voice at night
Even when I close my eyes
I pretend that I don’t care
But I’m lost in every lie
---
**Pre-Chorus**
If love was fair, I’d still have you
But now there’s nothing left to do
---
**Chorus**
I’m the happiest girl you’ll ever see
With a heart that’s barely beating
I shine so bright on the outside
But inside I’m slowly bleeding
If you look close, you might find
All the cracks I try to hide
I play the part so perfectly
The happiest girl… is breaking quietly
---
**Bridge**
Maybe one day I’ll be okay
Maybe I’ll mean the words I say
But for now, I’ll wear this mask
Like it’s all I have
---
**Outro**
So if you ask, I’ll say I’m fine
With a perfect smile every time
You’ll never see the tears I cry…
The happiest girl… was just a lie
