Behind the Painted Smile Video (MV)

Am I smiling or is it a lie
Beneath the mask my soul runs dry
They see laughter, they hear my cheer
But my silent cries disappear

I wear the painted smile they need to see
A clown performing endlessly
Behind the laughter there's a hollow sound
A heart that breaks without a crowd

The lights are winding, the stage is cold
A fragile story that's never told
They clap and cheer, but they don't know
The weight of the mask I can't let go

I'm smiling, but it's not real
Hiding the pain I refuse to reveal
Every laugh is a heavy disguise
A fragile mask with tears inside

I dance and twirl for their delight
But I'm alone when it's quiet at night
Oh, behind the painted smile they see
Lies the broken version of me

The makeup cracks, the colors fade
But still I perform, it's the role I play
Even when the music stops
I bow to a silent crowd

Wondering how, how did I become this
A painted face trapped in a never-ending chase
Every laugh feels like a heavy chain
Tied to a cycle I can't escape

Oh, I'm smiling, but it's not real
Hiding the pain I refuse to reveal
Every laugh is a heavy disguise
A fragile mask with tears inside

I dance and twirl for their delight
But I'm alone when it's quiet at night
Oh, behind the painted smile they see
Lies the broken version of me

When the lights go out and the curtain falls
The silence echoes through these walls
I stand alone in the empty space
A ghost of joy with a painted face

What if I could take the mask away
Would they see me or turn away
A fleeting thought, a fading dream
Lost in the haze of this endless scene

Am I smiling or is it a lie
I wonder if they'll ever ask me why
Why the painted smile feels so tight
A heavy burden hidden from sight

But I'll keep dancing, keep playing my part
With a painted smile and a heavy heart
Oh, behind the mask I'll always be
The silent shadow no one can see
