[Verse 1]
What I'm standing on is sinking in
And I don't have a clue how to get off of it
But when I look at you there is hope
It's like you see the sadness in my eyes
You read the blue between the lines
You could be the one to hold me when I wanna cry

[Chorus 1]
Underneath this smile, my world is slowly caving in
All the while, I'm hanging on, 'cause that is all I know
Could you be the one to save me from every bad habit that has helped me dig this hole?
I've been hiding out for miles underneath this smile

[Verse 2]
I have walked this earth with broken bones
I've been keeping secrets under all these lights
But when you're around my defenses go
You don't let me run away from you
You don't let me twist and turn the truth
It feels as if I'm naked when you're standing in the room

[Chorus 1]
Underneath this smile, my world is slowly caving in
All the while, I'm hanging on, cause that is all I know
Could you be the one to save me from every bad habit that has helped me dig this hole?
I've been hiding out for miles underneath this smile

[Chorus 2]
Underneath this smile, my world is slowly caving in
All the while, I'm hanging on, instead of letting go
Could you be the one to save me from every bad habit that has helped me dig this hole?
Underneath this smile
Could you be the one to save me from every bad habit that has helped me dig this hole?
I've been hiding out for miles
Underneath this, underneath this, underneath this smile
What I'm standing on is sinking in
