Don't Let It Show

Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons

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 own 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
