Don't Let It Show

If it's getting harder to face every day
Don't let it show, don't let it show
Though it's getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go, just let it go.

And if it hurts when they mention my name
Say you don't know me
And if it helps when they say I'm to blame
Say you don't owe me.

Even if it's taking the easy way out
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in, don't tell them anything
Don't let it, don't let it show.

Even though you know it's the wrong thing to say
Say you don't care, say you don't care
Even if you want to believe there's a way
I won't be there, I won't be there.

But if you smile when they mention my name
They'll never know you
And if you laugh when they say I'm to blame
They'll never own you.

Even if you feel you've got nothing to hide
Keep it inside of you
Don't give in, don't tell them anything
Don't let it, don't let it show.
