Behind the Smile - Rick Astley

Behind the smile that I portray

I am saddened every day

My eyes are sore with endless nights of crying

I hope that you don’t feel this way

My heart fills with tears when you pass me by

You won’t look me in the eye

Don’t you think that it’s a crying shame

We must play these silly games

The pain in my heart that shows we’re apart

Is growing stronger day by day

Behind the smile that I portray

I am saddened every day

My eyes are sore with endless nights of crying

I hope that you don’t feel this way

If you think that I have done you wrong

I won’t try to change your mind

But try to think of the love that we once had

And maybe things won’t seem so bad

The memories of those times are vivid in my mind

And yet they slip away as time goes on

Take me back tonight

Hold me close and tight

Forever I will be true

Behind the smiles that we portray

There is nothing hidden away

Our eyes are sore because we are crying

I hope we’ll always feel this way
