Jelly Roll & Sia – Behind Our Smiles Were Storms (Emotional Country Soul Duet)

Added: 2026-05-24

[00:00:14]I learned young how to fake being fine.

[00:00:18]Put on a laugh while I died inside.

[00:00:21]Every I'm okay was a desperate lie. I was losing faith one night at a time. I carry guilt like a chain on my chest.

[00:00:32]Couldn't outrun all my old regrets.

[00:00:36]Every bad choice still echoes loud. Even in a room full of people, I felt alone somehow. So I drank my pain till the room went on. Prayed to heaven, but no answer come. I looked in the mirror and hated that man. Barely surviving, barely standing behind our smiles were stor nobody saw. We laughed in crowded rooms while our hearts were at war.

[00:01:12]>> Everybody saw sunlight.

[00:01:15]>> We were drowning in rain, >> trying to heal from wounds.

[00:01:22]We were too ashamed to name.

[00:01:27]>> I wore makeup to high tide eyes. Turn my breakdowns into lullabies.

[00:01:34]Nobody knew how hard I fought. Just to make it through nights I almost lost. I kept old memories under my skin. Still bleeding from where love had been.

[00:01:48]People call me strong all the time, but strong was just another word for silently crying.

[00:01:55]>> THERE WERE NIGHTS I BEG GOD NOT to leave. While anxiety stole sleep from me, I smiled so nobody would ask.

[00:02:04]>> How a broken soul keeps wearing a mask.

[00:02:08]>> Behind our smiles were storing under the skin. We smiled for the world.

[00:02:18]>> Our fighting wars within.

[00:02:22]>> Everybody saw beauty, >> but never the pain in our eyes.

[00:02:29]>> We were healing in silence.

[00:02:32]>> Trying hard just to survive.

[00:02:36]>> I watched my father lose himself slowly.

[00:02:40]That kind of pain changes you deeply. So I build walls nobody could climb.

[00:02:46]Thought if I stay cold I'd survive.

[00:02:50]But pain don't disappear when ignore. It waits quietly behind closed doors. So one day your soul gets tired of carrying darkness through the fire.

[00:03:05]Maybe healing ain't a sudden light.

[00:03:08]Maybe it's surviving one more night.

[00:03:11]Maybe scars don't make us weak.

[00:03:14]>> Maybe broken people still deserve peace.

[00:03:19]>> I spent years blaming myself >> for things I could not help. Every cruel word still lived in me like ghost hanging from my meories.

[00:03:32]>> But healing found me slowly too.

[00:03:35]And small prayers and honest truth. And now I'm learning tears don't mean defeat.

[00:03:42]>> Sometimes falling apart is where grace begins to speak.

[00:03:48]And maybe hearts like ours still shine even after dark and difficult nights.

[00:03:55]Maybe God stays closest when we got no strength left within >> behind our smile would stop but we survive.

[00:04:08]The rain, >> every star became proof.

[00:04:12]>> We didn't break from pain.

[00:04:15]>> Now the man in the mirror >> looks a little less afraid.

[00:04:21]>> Cuz he finally reached >> the parts hurt couldn't save.

[00:04:29]>> Behind our smiles were storms.

[00:04:32]>> But heaven carried me through.

[00:04:36]Now the tears that once broke me.

[00:04:39]>> Water something new.

[00:04:42]>> And though my heart still trembles, >> I finally believe >> some flowers only bloom.

[00:04:53]>> After surviving grief, >> behind every smile, >> there's a story nobody sees.

[00:05:04]But even storms eventually leave.
