How many times with a smile?With a smile across your pretty face You shrug, and shrug again. The loss that you feel through the satin and lace Leaves only a palimpsest of the pain.How many times with a smile?
With a smile across your pretty face
You can laugh that you didn't care; That failure and doubt have left no trace On the perfect mask you wear.
With a smile across your pretty face
You can hide your heart from the world. 'Til the wall comes down and the smile's erased And behind it, a lost and lonely girl.
