Your eyes
they often lie
and leave me feeling
misunderstood
our tragedy
plays out like a symphony
a breath and a whisper
are your clues
inside we shake
because we´re afraid
but we´re certainly not afraid of you
these dreams instead
who live like a blanket
has smothered me but still left me warm

I don´t need sympathy
or your apologies
why don´t you understand?
the face you see
well it belongs to me
and I´m doing the best I can.....

just to make you smile
just to make you smile
again.....

Faith, we´re acting on courage alone
what will they do
when that´s all through?
dance in the dark
sleeve pinned with a heart
just to let you know
that we´re in pain

I don´t want sympathy
or your apologies
why don´t you understand?
the face you see
well it belongs to me
and I´m doing the best I can.....

just to make you smile
just to make you smile
again.....

every now and then you have to see
that the wall we´ve built has landed on me
every now and then why don´t we pretend
that things will come together in the end
every now and then just open your eyes
does every part of everything have to be right
every now and then- so that after a while
I might get through and make you smile
