...But You Can't Hear Through The Smile

-Hey!

-Hey. {Do we have to do this now?}

-How are you doing?

-I'm doing okay {I'm dying inside without him}

-Where have you been? I haven't seen you in a while.

-Oh, I'm around. {I can't face the world with bloodshot eyes. See what he does to me?}

-You look good.

-Thanks. {If only you could see inside...}

-Are you getting over what's his face?

-I'm getting there. {His name is John. I'm so broken. I'll never get over it.}

-Well that's good.

-Yeah... {Good that I can't wait to drink my life away so I don't have to feel?}

-You don't need him anyways.

-Nah... {I can't breathe without him.}

-You'll find someone better.

-Maybe. {I can't find someone better...when he'll have my heart forever.}

-He's not worth your pain...

-I know. {He's the best thing to ever happen to me...how can you say that?}

-He'll see what he lost in you...just wait.

-I know {I'd take him back in a heartbeat.}

-Is there anything I can do to help you out?

-No, I think I can manage. {Make him love me again...please, I'm begging you}

-How are your friends?

-Okay, I guess. {I haven't seen them in two weeks. He's all I think about.}

-What are you doing tonight?

-Sitting around. {Getting wasted so I don't have to feel. Same as it's been...}

-That doesn't sound like much fun!

-Yeah well... {He broke my fucking heart...I can't stop crying...}

-So graduation is in a couple of weeks...aren't you excited?

-A little. {How can I look forward to something when I feel so empty?}

-It's good to see you smile.

-Yeah... {The brightest smiles can hide the deepest pain...}
