Pretending never ends, dear
I can't let you see
My life is a masquerade
How much you hurting me
Since you took your love away
I just can't let you see
Darling I hide the tears that I cry
Whenever you're near I hide my tears
But I can't let you know
Behind a painted smile
You can't imagine the tears and sorrow
All the tears I'm crying
I don't need your sympathy
Behind a painted smile
Behind a painted smile
You can't imagine the tears and sorrow
That I still need you so, no
Whenever you're near I hide my tears
That would be like dying
A world of let's pretend, yeah
If I can't have your love
Behind a painted smile
My life's a masquerade
Since you took your love
You can't imagine the tears and sorrow
Darling I hide the tears that I cry
Whenever you're near I hide my tears
Whenever you're near I hide my tears
You would pity me
Behind a painted smile
