Lyrics

Keep Smiling

When I defend him like I do
He's not an ending many would refuse
If I forgive him, will I be sure?
I'll stretch my limbs to him evermore

It's not the words that I can't say
It's just the shame that I can't make
Sorry, dear, now you're near, I am not so strong
To appear with him here when our war begun

Keep smiling
Keep smiling
Keep smiling
Keep smiling

Curved at the edges, first in a frown
Held like the truth is there in my mouth

It's not the worst that I can't be
Giving to you and then at least
I will find, I'm resigned to the boy and me
I forget what he did, turn the other cheek

Keep smiling
Keep smiling
Keep smiling
Keep smiling

Look away, look away
From mistakes made
Look away, look away
From the face that gave
Look away, look away
Look what you made
