Lyrics
Happy Face
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When the key turns in my front door then the real me starts to show
I take off my happy face and let the teardrops flow
The same old hurt of loving you and knowing that you're gone
Is always here to greed me when I come home alone
I'm happy-go-lucky when I'm out with the crowd
When they ask me about you I just laugh out loud
This old mask that I keep wearing goes with me every place
To keep a hurt from showing I wear my happy face
These walls that surround me I'm glad that they can't speak
Because at night I cry and talk to them until I fall asleep
These old floors that I keep walking I'm glad they can't start talking
Or my friends would know the secret I'm trying to keep
But I'm happy-go-lucky...
