You don&#039;t stop laughing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop laughing. and<br /> Don&#039;t tell me the sky&#039;s the limit when there&#039;s footprints on the moon. and<br /> Sometimes the heart does things for reasons that reason cannot understand.

What they don’t know
Can’t hurt them
But it can hurt me
What they don’t say to me
I know would hurt
And it hurts all the same
What people can’t see is the problem
What people don’t know is the pain
And all of that people can’t know
Because if they did I would break
What they don’t know
Holds my shell together
What they don’t know
Keeps me whole
What they don’t know
Is the secret
The lie
The show
What they see
What they don’t know
Can’t hurt them
But it can hurt me
