You must know how to stop smiling
if joy has gone away
you are left only with sadness and days of unhappiness.

that in this anguish
you must save your dignity

you must know how to fake tears
and bury them in your heart.

you must know how to drown the sorrow
and mask the great pain
and hold back the hidden hatred
if you live in a hell
you must know how to turn to ice
if resentment burns the passion
you must know

and I do it so much
that I can't take it anymore
you must know that I
