<b>Behind a painted smile</b> by <i>Mathilde Santing</i><br />Whenever you’re near I hide my tears

behind a painted smile

You can’t imagine the tears and sorrow

behind a painted smile

My life’s a masquerade

a world of let’s pretend, dear

since you took your love

pretending never ends, dear

but I can’t let you know

that I still need you so, no

(Darling I hide the tears that I cry)

Whenever you’re near I hide my tears

behind a painted smile

You can’t imagine the tears and sorrow

behind a painted smile

I can’t let you see

all the tears I’m crying

you would pity me

that would be like dying

if I can’t have your love

I don’t need your sympathy

My life is a masquerade

since you took our love away

I just can’t let you see

how much you're hurting me
