Lyrics

BENEATH HER SMILE

He knows that he's given up all that he has lost
But stays immobilized with confusion and fear
Beneath her smile her heart is numb hands can't stop shaking
While she does all she can to hold on

CHORUS
She says come to me in a few years
After you've lived and learned enough about yourself
That you can love honestly

He thinks about her every minute of every day
But stays silent - he can't tell her or push her away
Beneath her smile her heart is numb hands can't stop shaking
While she does all she can to let go

CHORUS
She says come to me in a few years
After you've lived and learned enough about yourself
That you can love honestly
Maybe I'll be here maybe I won't
Life offers no guarantees but there's always hope
That's what I live on everyday

He grows weary of all the pushing and pulling inside he feels
In an instant he belongs to her, though he knows it's just not real
And beneath her smile her heart is still numb
But her hands have stopped shaking
For her, there's relief in goodbye
