What A Smile Can Hide

You think you understand the explanations,
The words put behind every fight
The smile I put in place just for you,
To get this relationship through the night
I explain to you I love you,
But you're the one to turn away
Not wanting to push this one too far,
When you're the one with more to say
You leave me standing in the darkness,
Trying to figure out what I've done wrong
Hidden silently somewhere in your life,
A place I don't belong
They all say they see it,
A life between us meant to last
But this fighting that keeps up between us,
Well...
Let's hope that is will pass
Caught in a moment of love,
Mascara stains this angel's face
We stare into each other's eyes
Neither of us embrace
We tore down our borders,
Walls firmly we had built up
But I'm the one watching you walk away
As I scream I've had enough

You say you understand me,
You explain to me you care
But explain to me how you know this,
When you're the one who's never there

I try to make you understand,
To try not to make you leave
But you just turn away,
Leaving me alone to grieve
These tears were meant to help us,
To wash away the pain
But I just paint on another smile,
Knowing we're not the same

I don't want to make you understand,
This situation is at an end
And this relationship between us,
Forget about us...
Again

Behind this smile is the hatred
Of our life you just won't mend
But mostly what I'm hiding
Is what you'll never understand
