Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

By day I laugh along and no one ever knows

The weight I carry once the evening goes

I close my door and let the mask come down

And cry into the quiet of this empty town

[chorus]

Tears on my pillow, that's where they fall

Nobody hears me through these thin walls

I smile all day so no one else can see

The nights are the only ones who know the real me

[verse]

You took the sunshine when you walked away

Left me rehearsing lines I'll never say

I fold your picture underneath my head

And whisper all the things that went unsaid

[bridge]

Maybe tomorrow I'll find it in me

To let the daylight in, to finally break free

But tonight I'll let the sadness have its way

And save my smile for another day

[chorus]

Tears on my pillow, that's where they fall

Nobody hears me through these thin walls

I smile all day so no one else can see

The nights are the only ones who know the real me

## Lyrics
[verse]
By day I laugh along and no one ever knows
The weight I carry once the evening goes
I close my door and let the mask come down
And cry into the quiet of this empty town

[chorus]
Tears on my pillow, that's where they fall
Nobody hears me through these thin walls
I smile all day so no one else can see
The nights are the only ones who know the real me

[verse]
You took the sunshine when you walked away
Left me rehearsing lines I'll never say
I fold your picture underneath my head
And whisper all the things that went unsaid

[bridge]
Maybe tomorrow I'll find it in me
To let the daylight in, to finally break free
But tonight I'll let the sadness have its way
And save my smile for another day

[chorus]
Tears on my pillow, that's where they fall
Nobody hears me through these thin walls
I smile all day so no one else can see
The nights are the only ones who know the real me
