Do You Know...
Do you know that behind this smile lays a broken heart
Do You know each time I see you I'm torn apart?
Can you possibly imagine what goes through this head?
Or the dreams that haunt my empty bed?
They are filled with hopes of you
Envisioning one day these dreams will come true
I have had one too many heart aches
and I know what it sounds like when hope breaks
You see I've been there when my heart has been torn in two
I've felt the pain when I've heard the wicked words spoken by you
I know how it feels to be so alone you cry yourself to sleep
and I know how it feels when you can no longer weep
So do you know that behind this smile lies a broken heart?
Can you see how many times it's been torn apart?
Do you know the thoughts that rampage my head?
And the loneliness that haunts me alone in this bed?
Can you heal it and make it end?
Or can't you see it, my friend?
For I am alone and so are you
I need you now more than you ever knew
When the skies are grey and cloudy
They're no longer blue just dark and gloomy
Please don't tell me that you know how I feel
If you can't help me change it and make this pain less real
You claim you think like I do
and a million other things that just aren't true
Your heart and mine are so far from one another,
that I sometimes I wonder why do I bother
But those talks we have I wouldn't take back
And the smiles we share I carry with me like a sack
The memories I have I wouldn't trade for the world
Yet the memories I have bring me into a dream-world
Do you now know that behind this smile is a wounded heart?
That only a dream-world can mend back into one part
And the thoughts that rampage through my head
They now comfort me in this lonely bed...
