Por Trás do Sorriso

I was stabbed by the man I called brother
But I smile as if it were all in vain
Blood flows, but no one sees the heart
I'm smiling just to avoid causing concern
My back aches, but my soul goes on in vain
It's become routine to hide every emotion
In the mirror, a smile, but inside, there's pressure
A smile of stab wounds became my protection

I was taught to be silent, not to feel
If it hurts, hide it and keep pretending
I trusted too much, and today I learned my lesson
Even the person who hugs you can hurt you
So many stabs in the back I lost count
They feign affection, but the deception always reveals the truth
I found myself alone, sinking in the storm
With a smile on my face and my heart slowly wreaking havoc

They say I've changed, but they've never looked inside
They only saw the mask, never the suffering
In the jungle of deception, I learned the movement
To stand even without feeling

I was stabbed by the man I called brother
But I smile as if it were all in vain
Blood flows, but no one sees the heart
I'm smiling just to avoid causing concern
My back aches, but my soul goes on in vain
It's become routine to hide every emotion
In the mirror, a smile, but inside, there's pressure
A smile of stab wounds became my protection

Today I laugh so I don't scream
I make jokes so I don't sink
Scars became my way of walking
And each step echoes what I will not say
I was the support for those who never held me up
I gave shelter to those who later pushed me away
I stood while everything collapsed
And what remained? A smile that never faded

I was stabbed by the man I called brother
But I smile as if it were all in vain
Blood flows, but no one sees the heart
I'm smiling just to avoid causing concern
