Right when you hang your head down
You smile, as a tear starts to descend
Is your smile true, my friend?
No one would bat an eye here
But looks are deceiving
Buried beneath your smile's
A cold pain you're keeping
Soon as I pick your pieces
They then start to cut my hands en masse
Just like shattered glass
It's fine to pour your heart out
Let the passion come about
'Twas the smile on your heartfelt face
That had pulled me to shore when life was all black
In our trial, if you lose your place
You can cry, for you shouldn't hold it back
You trip and fall behind
The dawn you told me you would find
When the earth shakes, and you just can't look
I can tell on my own just how the tide's turned
For my heartache, all the pain you took
How you said you would never let me hurt
And so, it seems that yet again
My words have failed to send
Though the clock stops me now and then
I'll say to you until the end...
'Twas the smile on your heartfelt face
That had pulled me to shore when life was all black
In our trial, if you lose your place
You can cry, for you shouldn't hold it back again
I'll be here, making up for what you lack
Whoa...
'Til you can lift your head up
And dry off the teardrop you have shed
I will sing this song, my friend
