I will be so happy, you won't see tears from me
A whole new face, I've found my place
And you won't be anywhere near me
This smile I've fixed upon my face may not seem sincere

But you'll see I put it on every time you're near
I won't let you know that I still cry over you
I won't let you know that you've ripped me right in two
Because I hate you too much to let you know that I ever really cared

And I'll pretend that I'm happy
I will be happy, eight years old, that's how I feel
I'm so mad that you weren't real
It seems so long ago but I still feel the pain

I was hoping all these thoughts would wash off in the rain
I won't let you know that I still cry over you
I wont let you know that you've ripped me right in two
Because I hate you too much to let you know that I ever really cared

And I'll pretend that I'm happy
I will be happy, I want to be happy
I will be happy, I will be
