"So, So Hard To Smile"
...
It's so very hard to smile
when there's no one you can trust,
and so, so hard to feel alive,
when your guts are dry as dust.
It's so very hard to want to live,
when you can't lie sound in your bed;
when you can't dream one sweet dream,
for the torture of lies in your head.
...
When the little green lights light
and the lying begins to spread,
when a loved one lies, such spite!,
when they know it's lies you dread.
When the betrayal comes to rest
there's no other way, you know,
it's always very much for the best,
to just pack up your heart, and go.
...
It's so very hard to smile
when the love you love goes bust;
and so, so hard to want to live,
when your lover falls to lust.
It's so very hard to continue on
with nothing but flesh in your bed;
when you can't even dream a sweet dream,
for the torture of lies in your head.
