Your eyes
they often lie
and leave me feeling
misunderstood
our tragedy
plays out like a symphony
a breath and a whisper
are your clues
inside we shake
because we`re afraid
but we`re certainly not afraid of you
these dreams instead
who live like a blanket
has smothered me but still left me warm
I don`t need sympathy
or your apologies
why don`t you understand?
the face you see
well it belongs to me
and I`m doing the best I can.....
just to make you smile
just to make you smile
again.....
Faith, we`re acting on courage alone
what will they do
when that`s all through?
dance in the dark
sleeve pinned with a heart
just to let you know
that we`re in pain
I don`t want sympathy
or your apologies
why don`t you understand?
the face you see
well it belongs to me
and I`m doing the best I can.....
just to make you smile
just to make you smile
again.....
every now and then you have to see
that the wall we`ve built has landed on me
every now and then why don`t we pretend
that things will come together in the end
every now and then just open your eyes
does every part of everything have to be right
every now and then- so that after a while
I might get through and make you smile
