Lyrics

PUBLIC SMILES & PRIVATE TEARS

Verse 1
I can?t hide behind this mask of happiness
I have tried I just can?t take the loneliness
I was lyin? to my heart when I said I was over you
Misleadin? all of my friends made believe that I was through

Verse 2
The lonely nights tossin? turnin? in my bed
and the neon lights flashin? your face in my head
Go to work every day to the same old dull routine
Jokin? with the boys ?bout the local beauty queens
I was smilin? my Judas lips were tellin? lies
I was cryin? all alone in my disguise

Chorus
Public smiles and private tears
I hid the pain and I keep hidin? the fears
Public smiles and private tears
I can?t take it anymore I need your love

Verse 3
I was stoned more than I care to say
Lost my way home every other day
I was never satisfied and always wanting more
When you?d finally had enough and walked out the door

Verse 4
Now every day is a masquerade
and I have paid the price I had to pay
I?m like a Gemini who has lost control
I need you back I need you heart and soul
To keep me from lyin? and misleadin? all of my friends
I?m tired of cryin I need your love back again.

Chorus
Public smiles and private tears
I hid the pain and I keep hidin? the fears
Public smiles and private tears
I can?t take it anymore I need your love
