Thin, Weak Smile

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You're callin' her the devil now because She wasn't quite the angel you convinced yourself she was But no one could be quite the person who You thought you had discovered when you thought she wanted you [Chorus] Now you've weathered all the damage But the most that you can manage is a thin, weak smile Go home and prepare it 'Cause I think you're gonna wear it for a while [Verse 2] You wish that you could face her with some pride But every time you see her in the street you turn aside You've lost it all, you've had your fall from grace Now you're gonna need some armor if you're gonna show your face [Chorus] So you fumble and you fluster And the most that you can muster is a thin, weak smile Go home and prepare it 'Cause I think you're gonna wear it for a while [Bridge] Everybody knows if you're a fraud You're not fooling anybody with that nonchalant façade I hope someday you grow a thicker skin 'Cause there's only so much mileage left in your shit-eating grin [Chorus] Now you've weathered all the damage But the most that you can manage is a thin, weak smile Time may still repair it but you'll then just grin and bear it You're gonna have to wear it for a while
