Smile Woman, Smile

Smile woman, smile.
All shall soon be fine.
We can always remain as friends,
but I won't accept your heart as mine.

                                How shall I ever smile?
                                For my heart is broken in two.
                                Remain friends? It will never be...
                                I'm too much in love with you.

Smile woman, smile.
For once the sun does rise...
I shall leave, forever gone
then true emotions you needn't disguise.

                                So my smile would be nothing
                                but a selfish means of escape
                                the salty tears and other pain
                                you always leave in your wake.

Smile woman, smile.
Call me explicative names.
Curse my heart, body and soul
but perhaps
                               you 
should take some blame.

Guard your heart
and think with your head
and learn not always
to follow
                              love
to bed.
