Verse 1:
Our old friends may tell you I'm not grieving,
But I've missed you since you went away,
To our friend I've just been make believing,
Don't believe a single word they say.
Refrain:
I laughed the day I saw you leave,
I laughed and said I'd never grieve,
But after the laughter came tears.
I told my friends I didn't care,
I laughed about our whole affair,
But after the laughter came tears.
My pride kept me from showing them that I was blue
But by myself you'll never know what I've been thru.
My lips concealed a heart in pain,
I made believe, but all in vain
For after my laughter came tears.
Verse 2:
Once I may have thought I was above you,
Now I know thatyou're too good for me,
Since you're goneI realize I love you,
And I don't deserve your sympathy.
Refrain
