Like twitching your lips upwards Would cause an avalanche of tears Like behind those cheery lips Are unstable mountains of pain Ready to crumble anytime You always smile like you’re about to cry Like pain and joy are eternally linked Playing an endless game of tug of war behind your face Behind your face You always smile like you’re about to cry Perhaps The feeling of happiness is a joy for you A novel one One so new and comforting it is its own special hurt You always smile like you’re about to cry But I hope that one day You’ll smile with only happiness in your eyes Any pain far from thought And that day It’ll be my turn to smile like I’m about to cry

You always smile like you're about to cry
Like twitching your lips upwards Would cause an avalanche of tears Like behind those cheery lips Are unstable mountains of pain Ready to crumble anytime You always smile like you’re about to cry Like pain and joy are eternally linked Playing an endless game of tug of war behind your face Behind your face You always smile like you’re about to cry Perhaps The feeling of happiness is a joy for you A novel one One so new and comforting it is its own special hurt You always smile like you’re about to cry But I hope that one day You’ll smile with only happiness in your eyes Any pain far from thought And that day It’ll be my turn to smile like I’m about to cry
