LYRICS

Little Girl Smiling (Written by: Kiyomi)

She checks her reflection, to put her smile in place.
For this she must do, to greet the world.

She’s calm and she’s cool and there’s never a trace.
Of what might be going on inside.
So set is she with that veil on her face.
That her heart’s never been released.

Chorus:
She’s a little girl smiling, but with hidden tears streaming.
Cuz inside she’s screaming and no one can even tell.
She’s a little girl laughing, but she’s surely faking.
Cuz inside she’s shaking, from the grief she can’t seem to display.

She checks her reflection, and her smile is still in place.
For this is the way she greets the world.

But when she looks a little closer she can’t ignore.
The helpless cry in her eyes.
But this is choked back and replaced.
With a smile that could destroy.
