Not one more smile will I lie
The pain and suffering will no longer cry!
Not one more smile will I lie,
For my eyes and lips must forever be true;
The pain and suffering will no longer cry!
Memories will forever try
To break me down and unglue;
Not one more smile will I lie!
Heartache will attempt to creep on by,
Leaving a trail of broken glass I walk through;
The pain and suffering will no longer cry!
Broken promises that seem to never die,
A ring, a bleak reminder of when we said I do;
Not one more smile will I lie!
Pictures of love still hang up high,
Waiting to fall and break like us too;
The pain and suffering will no longer cry!
Leave me empty without a sigh,
I close this door of burden with no more view;
Not one more smile will I lie,
The pain and suffering will no longer cry!
