lyrics

BITTER SMILES

There are no words that can discussed
Especially when you really must
Kept in silence, they may ask what's wrong
but the answer is to just play along
and stay in the role they've created for you
Do not think or feel, except how they want you to

There are no intentions that mean what they say
We're all looking for a reward to finish each day
What's a little lie for the price of true love
and who cares that pain's more than enough?
They're only looking for a prostitute
In an elegant, conservative suit

Please don't forget to remind me of how much I'm hurting
(don't forget to remind me of)What my position in life is
(don't forget to remind me)That my wishes will always be unfulfilled
(don't forget to remind me)That nothing in this life is real
I know you won't (repeat)
There are no actions that can make up for the damage done
Especially when you can say what they are
Kept in cocoons, they will laugh at you
You're just a cartoon, coloured in too soon
but know that one day with your bitter smiles
They could never walk a thousand steps in your miles

I take it all back and I never said a thing (repeat)
I take it all back
