Behind a Painted Smile Songtext
von Mathilde Santing

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
