And there ain't no reason to stop tryin', no
And that's as good as it can get for us
I know it sounds crazy just the way that we live
Between a laugh and a tear
You count your friends all on one finger
And it don't seem to mean anything to you now
And there ain't no reason to stop tryin'
Between a laugh and a tear
Between a laugh and a tear
I know there's a balance, I see it when I swing past
Smile in the mirror as you walk by
Through the days you feel a little used up
Between a laugh and a tear
You see through everything, nothin' seems worthwhile
Smile in the mirror as you walk by
Between a laugh and a tear
Smile in the mirror as you walk by
Just try to live each and every precious moment
Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live
Discouraged by the future forget the past
And that's as good as it can get for us
And there ain't no reason to stop tryin'
When this cardboard town can no longer amuse you
Between a laugh and a tear
Just your soul feelin' a little downhearted
That's old advise but it'll be good to you
And you don't know where your energy's gone wrong
And that's as good as it can get for us
And hypocrite used to be such a big word to you
