Crying Behind My Smile

 

Crying Behind My Smile

 

More wants you had

Than I could supply

I tried so hard

Your love I can’t buy

Scared? No not I

So where’s your proof

Who really cares?

You’re standoffish and aloof

 

False was my love

A slap in your face

Caught in your lies

Weaved in lace

Never loved you

Never will give my heart

You’re left out in the cold

And now crying will start

 

I turn and walk out the door

Before you see the true me

Before my heart reveals

How broke it can be

 

A mask I will wear

Painted red in disguise

You won’t see me cry

Tears won’t fall from my eyes

 

I’ll wear my disguise

The face of a clown

I’ll be crying inside

But I won’t wear a frown

 

A big painted smile

Will cover my face

All the pain inside

My smile will erase
