Behind A Painted Smile
Whenever you're near, I hide my tears behind a painted smile
You can't imagine the tears and sorrow, behind a painted smile
My life's a masquerade, a world of let's pretend, dear
Since you took your love, pretending never ends, dear
But I can't let you know that I still need you so, no
Whenever you're near, I hide my tears behind a painted smile
You can't imagine the tears and sorrow behind a painted smile
I can't let you see all the tears I'm crying
You would pity me, that would be like dying
If I can't have your love, I don't need your sympathy
Whenever you're near, I hide my tears behind a painted smile
You can't imagine the tears and sorrow, behind a painted smile
My life is a masquerade, since you took your love away
Whenever you're near, I hide my tears
I just can't let you see how much you're hurting me
Whenever you're near, I hide my tears behind a painted smile
You can't imagine the tears and sorrow, behind a painted smile
My life's a masquerade, a world of let's pretend, dear
Since you took your love, pretending never ends, dear
But I can't let you know that I still need you so, no
Whenever you're near, I hide my tears behind a painted smile
You can't imagine the tears and sorrow behind a painted smile
I can't let you see all the tears I'm crying
You would pity me, that would be like dying
If I can't have your love, I don't need your sympathy
Whenever you're near, I hide my tears behind a painted smile
You can't imagine the tears and sorrow, behind a painted smile
My life is a masquerade, since you took your love away
Whenever you're near, I hide my tears
I just can't let you see how much you're hurting me
Whenever you're near, I hide my tears behind a painted smile
