You Can’t Tell How Much Suffering (On a Face That’s Always Smiling)

Lyrics

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
