Behind the scene

You say that I don’t feel That I didn't cry If only you knew If only you put in effort to try Try to know what happened behind the scenes You weren't there when I couldn't sleep While I cried till my eyes swole You didn't see me blaming myself for not feeling whole You didn't see me suffer. Everyone sees the front I'm built not to bother and be blunt But to act and smile So to you I look all high and fine Yet, don't be so cruel and mean Since you don't know what happened behind the scene
