the same smile is but a floodgate waiting to open and cough up blood from pieces of this broken heart. so when you see me better hope there's a smile on my face, for these tears will be an embarrassment more than a metaphor in this case and who can explain this emotion if men aren't supposed to cry in the first place.

smiling means happiness?
the same smile is but a floodgate waiting to open and cough up blood from pieces of this broken heart. so when you see me better hope there's a smile on my face, for these tears will be an embarrassment more than a metaphor in this case and who can explain this emotion if men aren't supposed to cry in the first place.
