behind the smile that i portray i am saddened every day my eyes are sore with endless nights of crying i hope that you don t feel this way my heart fills with tears when you pass me by you won t look me in the eye don t you think that it s a crying shame we must play these silly games the pain in my heart that shows we re apart is growing stronger day by day behind the smile that i portray i am saddened every day my eyes are sore with endless nights of crying i hope that you don t feel this way if you think that i have done you wrong i won t try to change your mind but try to think of the love that we once had and maybe things won t seem so bad the memories of those times are vivid in my mind and yet they slip away as time goes on take me back tonight hold me close and tight forever i will be true behind the smiles that we portray there is nothing hidden away our eyes are sore because we are crying i hope we ll always feel this way
