You Can't Tell How Much Suffering

Brave face, and english illusion

Stiff lips soft and creamy inside

I'm hip to your pain and confusion

You can't tell how much suffering

On a face that's always smiling

I swore i would always be with you

But now i'm afraid of your tears

I fear that you might take me with you

You can't tell how much suffering

On a face that's always smiling





I've grinned my way through beatings

I've smiled my way through school

But underneath this grinning

Is the sadness of the fool

No longer know my feelings

Been fooling for too long

Borne of desperation in an effort to look strong

Look strong, look strong

Hey there monkey face you look so strong





That joke could crack you with laughter

Release from the edge of despair

Success is the god that i'm after

In jokes, i'm a millionaire

You can't tell how much suffering

On a face that's always smiling
