I tried to hide behind bright smiles, bright eyes Thinking of the lies I’d tell tomorrow Suddenly your love took me by surprise I’ve found happiness is the best disguise So few tend to question sorrow I tried to hide behind bright smiles, bright eyes The moment we met, you saw through my lies No time to discern between friend or foe Suddenly your love took me by surprise Though time together is difficult to characterize Moments with you begin to make me glow Still, I try to hide behind bright smiles, bright eyes Yet I find myself willing to sacrifice Open my heart, let my emotions flow Suddenly your love takes me by surprise Time and again, I try to compromise You force my eyes open, to see, to know I try to hide behind bright smiles, bright eyes I’m defeated by love, a welcomed surprise

I tried to hide behind bright smiles, bright eyes Thinking of the lies I’d tell tomorrow Suddenly your love took me by surprise I’ve found happiness is the best disguise So few tend to question sorrow I tried to hide behind bright smiles, bright eyes The moment we met, you saw through my lies No time to discern between friend or foe Suddenly your love took me by surprise Though time together is difficult to characterize Moments with you begin to make me glow Still, I try to hide behind bright smiles, bright eyes Yet I find myself willing to sacrifice Open my heart, let my emotions flow Suddenly your love takes me by surprise Time and again, I try to compromise You force my eyes open, to see, to know I try to hide behind bright smiles, bright eyes I’m defeated by love, a welcomed surprise
