Smiling On The Outside
Smiling On The Outside
I see the light through the window
As I sit alone here in the dark
I’m thinking about how it used to be
And how this is tearing me apart
You left me here all alone
Trying to hold onto your heart
I should have known it was too good to be true
I should have known right from the start
CHORUS
(I may be smiling on the outside
But inside I softly cry
I’ve looked so deeply into your eyes
How could I not see the lies?
Love doesn’t live in this life anymore
And all I can feel is pain
You said you would be by my side
Through the sunshine and the rain)
Isn’t this how it always ends
A broken heart, and tears on my face
Without you here with me
My life is such a lonely place
I thought when you would reach out for me
And hold me in your arms, that you felt just like I did
That is where we both belonged
CHORUS
I trusted you with everything
The most important things in my life
I believed our love was forever
And I would someday be your wife
How could I be so blind?
To believe everything you would say
You said I was the only one
And you loved me more each day
How could you do this to me?
CHORUS
