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

(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

My life is a masquerade

Since you took our love away

I just can't let you see

How much you're hurting me
