[Verse 1]
Whenever you're near, I hide my tears behind a painted smile
You can't imagine the tears and sorrow behind a painted smile
[Verse 2]
My life's a masquerade
A world of let's pretend, yeah
Since you took your love
Pretendin' never ends, dear
[Verse 3]
But I can't let you know
That I still need you so, no
[Verse 4]
Whenever you're near, I hide my tears behind a painted smile
You can't imagine the tears and sorrow behind a painted smile, ooh
[Verse 5]
But I can't let you see
All the tears I'm cryin'
You would pity me
That would be like dyin'
[Verse 6]
If I can't have your love
I don't need your sympathy
[Verse 7]
Whenever you're near, I hide my tears behind a painted smile
You can't imagine the tears and sorrow behind a painted smile
[Verse 8]
My life is a masquerade
Since you took your love away
Whenever you're near, I hide my
[Verse 9]
I just can't let you see
How much you hurt me
Whenever you're near, I hide my tears behind a painted smile
