It’s been a while
I didn’t think you’d call first
“If you’re free, let’s meet up”
How can I say no to that?
It’s half excitement, half fear
Because what if you notice
That I still miss you?
But today, I smile
Even though it hurts, I smile
In front of you
I pretend that I’m fine
I pretend that I’m okay
I have to
I smile, I smile
So once in a while
We can meet with a smile
I must smile, I smile
You’re the same
Your smile is still so pretty
Really, if I could
I’d ask you to come back to me right away
But today, I smile
Even though it hurts, I smile
In front of you
I pretend that I’m fine
I pretend that I’m okay
I have to
I smile, I smile
So once in a while
We can meet with a smile
I must smile, I smile
After we say goodbye
My smile will disappear
But today, I smile
Even though it hurts, I smile
Until the end
I pretend that I’m fine
I pretend that I’m okay
I have to
I smile, I smile
So once in a while
We can meet with a smile
I must smile, I smile
