Stella Reddy's Story

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Oh my… I found this video on YouTube yesterday and I have listened to it so many times, and every time, it makes me cry. I share the Lyrics for this song below…

I don’t bury my emotions anymore; I face them, see where they come from and work it out. Most of the time, I find that my emotions are lying to me as there is nothing wrong and nothing to fear. This has made my life a lot more peaceful.

I hope you enjoy this song and it “speaks” to you too!

 

 

Song Lyrics

I smile in the mirror, but it’s all just a lie,

I laugh with the crowd, but inside I wanna cry.

They don’t see the storm that’s brewing in my chest,

They can’t hear the pain, can’t feel the stress.

I walk through the day with a mask on my face,

But the weight on my shoulders is hard to erase.

Every night I lie awake with thoughts in my head,

The tears on my pillow, the words left unsaid.

 

The pain I hide, it’s deep inside,

I keep it locked, don’t let it show outside.

They see the smile, but not the scars,

I’m breaking down behind these bars.

The pain I hide, it cuts so deep,

I cry alone when the world’s asleep.

I hold it in, but it’s killing me slow,

Nobody knows, nobody knows.

 

I tell myself, “Stay strong, keep moving on,”

But the shadows of the past keep pulling me down.

Every fake grin feels like a heavy chain,

Dragging me deeper into silent pain.

I don’t want pity, don’t want their eyes,

So I keep it buried, keep living in disguise.

The weight of the world, it’s hard to carry alone,

But I’d rather be silent than let it be known.

 

The pain I hide, it’s deep inside,

I keep it locked, don’t let it show outside.

They see the smile, but not the scars,

I’m breaking down behind these bars.

The pain I hide, it cuts so deep,

I cry alone when the world’s asleep.

I hold it in, but it’s killing me slow,

Nobody knows, nobody knows.

 

Sometimes I scream, but no one hears my voice,

Drowning in silence, like I have no choice.

I’ve mastered the art of pretending I’m fine,

But each day it’s harder to walk that line.

I wish I could open up, let someone in,

But the fear of being judged keeps it all within.

So I’ll keep my secrets, keep wearing this mask,

While the pain I hide becomes a heavier task.

 

The pain I hide, it’s deep inside,

I keep it locked, don’t let it show outside.

They see the smile, but not the scars,

I’m breaking down behind these bars.

The pain I hide, it cuts so deep,

I cry alone when the world’s asleep.

I hold it in, but it’s killing me slow,

Nobody knows, nobody knows.

 

And when the lights go out, and the world fades away,

I sit with my demons, let them have their say.

The weight on my heart, it’s crushing my soul,

But I can’t let them see that I’m losing control.

Behind the smile, there’s a boy who cries,

But I’ll keep pretending till the day I die.

 

The pain I hide, it’s deep inside,

I keep it locked, don’t let it show outside.

They see the smile, but not the scars,

I’m breaking down behind these bars.

The pain I hide, it cuts so deep,

I cry alone when the world’s asleep.

I hold it in, but it’s killing me slow,

Nobody knows, nobody knows.

 

Nobody knows the pain I hide,

I keep it buried, deep inside.

Behind the laughter, behind the lies,

I carry the hurt, and nobody tries.

The pain I hide, it’s mine to keep,

And I’ll hold it in, till I’m buried deep.
