Little Eyes

Have you ever felt the pain
The type that drives you insane
Feels like black clouds and rain
Makes you suffocate for days
But you don't crack, you don't break
Because little eyes are watching

But inside you are dying
Though it's not for lack of trying
You keep the line a towing
But deep down you feel broken
And the sadness, it keeps growing
So you keep people from knowing
Because little eyes are watching

You put that smile on so well
But from your eyes they can tell
You're in your own personal hell
In black tar you dwell
But you want to stay well
A piece of your soul you'd sell
Because little eyes are watching

Then they give you that smile
The kind you can see for a mile
Which warms up your heart
And brings you back to the start
Makes the clouds go away
And you survive one more day
For those little eyes that are watching
