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
