Tied Together with a smile

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a huge Taylor Swift fan! One of her older songs came on recently and I realized how much it explained, some of the feelings I have while battling with being sick. I tend to be a bit of a pessimist about myself and it gets way worse when I'm sick. Not many people know this. Even when I am in so much pain I can hardly stand it, I smile a lot to make everyone else think I'm fine. I've been doing this for years now. I heard this song and it reminded me of myself. Even though the song is about love, it always evokes strong emotions in me. Hope you enjoy!

Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty
Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
You walk around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true, cause I know you

Hold on baby you're losing it
The water's high you're jumping in to it 
And letting go and no one knows
That you cry but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile but you're coming undone


Guess its true that love is all you wanted
Cause you're giving it away like it's extra change
Hoping it will end up in his pocket 
But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain
Oh cause it's not his price to pay
It's not his price to pay

Hold on baby you're losing it
The water's high you're jumping in to it 
And letting go and no one knows
That you cry but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile but you're coming undone

oh oh oh oh
Hold on baby you're losing it
The water's high you're jumping in to it 
And letting go and no one knows
That you cry but you don't tell anyone
That you might not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile but you're coming undone


oh oh oh oh
You're tied together with a smile but you're coming undone

-Taylor Swift


The chorus especially speaks to me. I have come "undone" and can no longer always be "tied together with a smile". I still try to do it but nobody is buying it anymore. I've jumped into the water and am hoping that I don't drown. I know that if I just keep swimming I can make it!
