Behind the Smiles - Elyne

Do you remember that day in the theatre?

Your smile seems like the best I’ve ever seen

I have given you more than my life

But you have smashed on the ground

With your feet down my face

Can you see it?

I’m dying

And I’m still waiting inside these walls

Dying back down on your knees

For this pain that erases me

‘cause I swear, I’ve tried

To find the light inside these eyes

But I’m not what you need

So leave my mind and my dreams

Forget my face and what we were

I just want a place for myself

Maybe one day I will find the way to end this hell

I will find a way to trust you

But if you see my eyes

You see the truth

Can you see it?

I’m dying

And I’m still waiting inside these walls

Dying back down on your knees

For this pain that erases me

‘cause I swear, I’ve tried

To find the light inside these eyes

But I’m not what you need

So leave my mind and my dreams
