The Pain Behind Your Smile

You hide your pain behind your smile,
But I still see it in your soft blue eyes.
How many have hurt you?
How many were near?
And, tell me, did it cause you fear?
Fear of losing those close to you?
How many have hurt you, dear?

How many have broken your heart to bits?
How many have made you cry?
I would not dream,
I would not dare,
To hurt you or go anywhere.
I'll stick by you through thick and thin.
If you need me I'll be there.

You hide your pain behind your smile,
But I still see it in your soft blue eyes.
Oh, how many have hurt you, dear?
