Wearing a Smile

Its nights like these That makes it so hard to believe Its pain like this That leaves me begging for your kiss Smiles are only as good As the lies of the beholder Words are only as true As the hearts of the beholder It’s so hard to breathe I’m trying so hard to believe Hope seems so far out of sight Stuck in this hell lookin for the light I try my best to wear this smile Hoping it’s just for a while But day by day I lose who I am Just like the names lost in the sand Smiles are only as good As the lies of the beholder Words are only as true As the hearts of the beholder Doesn't anyone see I lost my faith in me Won’t anyone please look for my scar Because happiness is just too far I’m longing for your touch Because right now Heaven knows I could use that much I’ve spent too much time on my own And I can’t spend another night alone Smiles are only as good As the lies of the beholder Words are only as true As the hearts of the beholder
