Underneath This Smile

Hilary Duff · Hilary Duff [2004]

What I'm standing on is sinking in

And I don't have a clue how to get off of it

But when I look at you, there is hope

It's like you see the sadness in my eyes

You read the blue between the lines

You could be the one to hold me when I wanna cry



[CHORUS]

Underneath this smile

My world is slowly caving in

All the while I'm hanging on

'Cause that is all I know

Could you be the one to save me

From every bad habit that has helped me dig this hole

I've been hiding out for miles

Underneath this smile, yeah



I have walked this Earth with broken bones

I've been keeping secrets under all these lights

But when you're around my defenses go

You don't let me run away from you

You don't let me twist and turn the truth

It feels as if I'm naked when you're standing in the room



Underneath this smile

My world is slowly caving in

All the while

I'm hanging on instead of letting go

Could you be the one to save me

From every bad habit that has helped me dig this hole

I've been hiding out for miles

Underneath this smile

Underneath this smile

Ohh, yeah, ohh



Underneath this smile

My world is slowly caving in

All the while

I'm hanging on instead of letting go

Could you be the one to save me

From every bad habit that has helped me dig this hole

Underneath this smile (my world is slowly caving in...)

Could you be the one to save me

From every bad habit that has helped me dig this hole

I've been hiding out for miles

Underneath this...

Underneath this...

Underneath this smile (ohh)

What I'm standing on is sinking in...
