The crowd sees me out dancing
Carefree and romancing
Happy with my someone new
I m laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
cause I m still in love with you

They see me night and daytime
Having such a gay time
They don t know what I go through
I m laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
cause I m still in love with you

No one knows it s just a pose
Pretending I m glad we re apart
And when I cry, my eyes are dry
The tears are in my heart

My darling, can t we make up?
Ever since our breakup
Make believe is all I do
I m laughing on the outside
Crying on the inside
cause I m still in love
