I hurt my dear wife today, shell remain under her floorboards safely kept away 
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 that's 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 she's 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 that's 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
