Behind the Brave Front - Bao Binh
I wear a mask of strength, but inside I'm weak
Tangled in my thoughts, it's harder to speak
For long years of hiding, pretending to be fine
But I'm lost in a maze, can't find the line
The walls I built are crumbling down
I'm sinking deeper, I might drown
In this endless fight to be whole
But I'm just playing a role
Behind this brave front, I'm breaking
Every smile I fake, I'm aching
I'm tired of pretending, of holding on tight
But I'm not ready to say goodbye
I used to dream of a happy end
But reality's a truth I can't defend
The world moves fast, I can't keep pace
These heavy burdens I can't erase
The future I hoped for fades away
Growing up has stolen the light of day
But somewhere deep inside, I know
I must find the strength to grow
Behind this brave front, I'm breaking
Every smile I fake, I'm aching
I'm tired of pretending, of holding on tight
But I'm not ready to say goodbye
The future I hoped for fades away
Growing up has stolen the light of day
But somewhere deep inside, I know
I must find the strength to grow
Behind this brave front, I'm breaking
Every smile I fake, I'm aching
I'm tired of pretending, of holding on tight
But I'm not ready to say goodbye
I'll rebuild what's lost, I'll be strong
Even if the road feels wrong
This heart of mine will learn to heal
I'll rise again, I'll learn to feel
Behind this brave front, I'm breaking
But I'm learning to stop faking
I'm tired of pretending, of holding on tight
I'm not saying goodbye tonight
