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, yeah

Since you took your love

Pretending never ends, yeah



But I can't let you know

That I still need you so, no



(Darling I hide the tears that I cry)

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



(Darling I hide the tears that I cry)

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



I just can't let you see

How much you hurting me



Whenever you're near I hide my tears

Behind a painted smile
