[ Featuring Kelsey Lynn ]
Even when the stars fade away
Leaving darkness here to stay, you know
Laughter is so hollow, baby
Laughter is so hollow, baby
Cause in the end what's left to find
Shattered pieces, lost in time, you know
Laughter is so hollow, baby
Laughter is so hollow, baby
Behind the mask, the pain we hide
A smile that fights, the tears inside, you know
Laughter is so hollow, baby
We can't let it go
The mask they wear, they start to crack
Revealing truths, we can't take back, you know
Laughter is so hollow, baby
Laughter is so hollow, baby
Laughter is so hollow, baby
Just a big disguise
Underneath the mask we wear
That's hiding all the lies
As the world keeps going on
Oblivious and blind
Inside we are shattering
The pieces we can't find
With the weight of our own pride
In the silence we confide, you know
Hoping someone hears your cry
With a flame that never dies, you know
Laughter is so hollow, baby
Laughter is so hollow, baby
Behind the mask, the pain we hide
A smile that fights, the tears inside, you know
Laughter is so hollow, baby
We can't let it go
The mask they wear, they start to crack
Revealing truths, we can't defend, you know
Laughter is so hollow, baby
Laughter is so hollow, baby
They can't see through my smile
Lord knows that it's been a while
I go through it all the time
Can't keep up with this life
If they seen what's behind the mask
Then they would see I'm really sad
So I'll just sit back and I laugh
Put what I've been through in the past
It's times like these when you're really hurting
And wondering what's the purpose
Therapy's never working
Every type of lovin' that you're churning
And they would never know
So I don't ever let it show
I already know how it goes
Love you when you're blessed, but not when you're low
Behind the mask, the pain we hide
A smile that fights, the tears inside, you know
Laughter is so hollow, baby
We can't let it go
The mask they wear, they start to crack
Revealing truths, we can't defend, you know
Laughter is so hollow, baby
Laughter is so hollow, baby
