It's only twenty hours ahead But I'd rather be at home instead I'll act as if I'm older, and wiser And it's not like I could ever lie to her When she damn well knew it wasn't true With a face thats turning a certain shade of blue You know I've spent so long saving you from tears It's gotten far too easy to fake that smile You know nothing can bring back these twenty years It's gotten far too easy to fake that smile And we will love each other tonight Now shes forever dead and gone But I'll always be remembering her song And her lungs can no longer hold her heavy heart But one more smile would have been a good start With a face thats turning a certain shade of blue You know I've spent so long saving you from tears It's gotten far too easy to fake that smile You know nothing can bring back these twenty years It's gotten far too easy to fake that smile And she still said, I'll be forever whispering in your ear Another gentle lie, of this is not the sun We all sat down and we all sang, We'll keep this alive until the day that we die You know I've spent so long saving you from tears It's gotten far too easy to fake that smile You know nothing can bring back these twenty years It's gotten far too easy to fake that smile The day that we die
