Your Smile My Pain

I thought our love was unbreakable

A fortress built against the fray

But every promise was mistakeable

You pushed and pulled my heart away

I never knew a touch so numbing

The quiet storm I couldn't see

I never saw the damage coming

That you inflicted onto me

You wore your smile like a sunday best

While you put my soul through a wicked test

The tears the scars the aching strain

You wore your smile

And I wore the pain

I cried alone in darkened rooms

To chase away the ghosts you made

Among the self inflicted wounds

For some relief I knelt and prayed

For broken bones and silent pleas

For every night I couldn't breathe

You brought me to my lonely knees

With all the lies you made me believe

You wore your smile like a sunday best

While you put my soul through a wicked test

The tears the scars the aching strain

You wore your smile

And I wore the pain

I watched you move without remorse

Not a single flicker in your eye

You spun your lies and stayed the course

Never had to ask the question why

It was a game you had to win

A mask to hide the hell within

But to hell you went

And I heard the door slam shut on you

Forevermore

Yeah to hell you went

And there you'll stay

At the closing

Of my judgment day
