Brave face, and English illusion
|
Stiff lips soft and creamy inside
|
I'm hip to your pain and confusion
|
You can't tell how much suffering
|
On a face that's always smiling
|
I swore I would always be with you
|
But now I'm afraid of your tears
|
I fear that you might take me with you
|
You can't tell how much suffering
|
On a face that's always smiling
|
|
|
I've grinned my way through beatings
|
I've smiled my way through school
|
But underneath this grinning
|
Is the sadness of the fool
|
No longer know my feelings
|
Been fooling for too long
|
Borne of desperation in an effort to look strong
|
Look strong, look strong
|
Hey there monkey face you look so strong
|
|
|
That joke could crack you with laughter
|
Release from the edge of despair
|
Success is the god that I'm after
|
In jokes, I'm a millionaire
|
You can't tell how much suffering
|
On a face that's always smiling
|
