Behind My Smile
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.
Behind my smile,
i cry;
i try to laugh that lie;
but any fool can see,
what's wrong with me.
the dream i feel did not come true and,
you know what,
this does to you;
so i hide my tears behind my smile.
* behind my smile,
i cry for all those wasted years;
years that were thrown away,
in just a day.
i tell myself that she'll return,
but i'm a fool,
who'll never learn.
that's the life i live,
behind my smile*
