As Long As I Smile

Don't confuse my eyes with a stranger
Tears I cry inside to drive you away
And you, you don't care
As long as I smile and have a good day

(chorus)
In my mind I find I need the speed to keep from falling
And as I slide I'll hold on to someone below me
And you will never know -
No, I will never show -
You will never know
You'll never know me.

Walk away again - they come and go

I will leave if you decide to stay
And I, I don't care
As long as I smile and have a good day

(chorus)
In my mind I find I need the speed to keep from falling
And as I slide I'll hold on to someone below me
And you will never know -
No, I will never show -
You will never know
You'll never know me.

Easy to believe in my disguises
And I wonder who turned out the lights
But no, nobody cares
As long as I smile and say everything's all right

(bridge)
And its midnight.
No that was two hours ago
And alone I watch the sun rise

(chorus)
In my mind I find I need the speed to keep from falling
And as I slide I'll hold on to someone below me
And you will never know -
No, I will never show -
You will never know
You'll never know me.

In my mind I find you'll never know me.
As I slide... you'll never know me.
No, you will never know I will never show you
As long as I smile you'll never know me.
