lyrics

Yes I've been crying in the rain
Ashamed and disgraced by the pain
I can't escape

Yes I've been lost in the night
Stumbling drunk through life
And wishing for the end

You can smile
Even while
You know you're just playing the part
You can smile
Even while
You've got a crack going through your heart
You can smile
Even while
They can all see that your falling apart
You can smile

Yes I've been embraced by misery
Pitifully weeping myself to sleep
For some peace

Yes I've been weak and lonely
Sorrowful and guilty
Of thoughts I cannot speak
