INTRO (
Soft
piano
with
gentle
guitar)
Everybody
sees
the
smiles,
Everybody
sees
the
love…
Pictures
looking
perfect,
But
nobody
knows
enough. 💔
Behind
the
cameras,
Behind
the
things
they
show,
There
are
stories
they
don’
t
tell,
There
are
tears
nobody
knows…
Maya
and
Michael,
looking
like
a
dream,
The
kind
of
love
that
everybody
wants
to
see.
Matching
outfits,
smiling
for
the
gram,
Everybody
saying, “
God,
I
want
what
they
have.”
But
when
the
door
closes,
And
the
laughter
fades
away,
They
hide
their
little
struggles,
And
pretend
that
they’
re
okay.
Bills
are
waiting,
Pressure
getting
high,
But
they
keep
on
smiling
With
the
pain
they
hide
inside. 🎶
PRE-CHORUS
Oh,
what
a
beautiful
picture,
But
what’
s
happening
behind
the
frame?
Can
love
survive
the
pressure
When
you’
re
scared
to
speak
your
pain?
They
call
them
the
perfect
couple,
Everybody
wants
their
love.
But
behind
the
beautiful
pictures,
Are
the
things
they’
re
hiding
from
us.
Oh,
Maya,
oh
Michael,
You
don’
t
have
to
pretend
anymore.
Love
is
more
than
what
people
see,
It’
s
the
truth
behind
the
door.
The
perfect
couple,
oh-oh,
Smiling
for
the
world
to
see.
But
a
perfect-looking
marriage
Doesn’
t
mean
there’
s
no
misery.
Evelyn
sees
the
love,
And
she
wishes
it
was
hers.
She
praises
every
little
thing,
While
Eva
hides
her
jealousy. “
See
the
way
he
looks
at
her,
See
the
way
he
holds
her
hand.”
But
nobody
knows
the
battles
That
they
barely
understand.
Trying
to
live
a
lifestyle
That
their
pockets
can’
t
sustain,
Buying
happiness
for
strangers
While
they’
re
drowning
in
the
pain.
They
forgot
that
love
is
patience,
Love
is
honesty
and
trust.
Not
the
clothes
or
fancy
places,
Not
the
image
built
for
us. (
Music
becomes
emotional
and
softer)
Michael,
tell
me
what
you’
re
feeling,
Maya,
don’
t
be
scared
to
cry.
You
don’
t
have
to
hide
your
worries,
You
don’
t
have
to
live
a
lie.
Let
the
truth
come
to
the
table,
Let
the
pride
fall
to
the
ground.
If
the
love
is
still
worth
fighting,
Let
forgiveness
come
around.
No
more
pretending…
No
more
hiding…
Let
your
hearts
speak
freely…
Let
your
love
breathe
again. ❤️
They
don’
t
have
to
be
perfect,
They
just
have
to
be
true.
Through
the
pain
and
imperfections,
There’
s
still
love
to
hold
on
to.
Oh,
Maya,
oh
Michael,
Let
your
love
be
built
on
truth.
Not
on
what
the
world
expects,
But
on
what
you
both
choose.
The
perfect
couple,
oh-oh,
Now
they
understand
at
last.
Love
is
not
about
perfection,
It’
s
the
truth
that
makes
it
last. (
Soft
piano
fades
in)
Don’
t
believe
every
picture,
Don’
t
believe
every
smile.
Some
people
hide
their
struggles
Behind
a
beautiful
lifestyle.
Love
needs
truth,
Marriage
needs
trust,
And
when
the
world
is
watching,
Remember
who
you
are. ❤️
The
perfect
couple…
Not
perfect,
but
learning
to
love.
