Lyrics
[Chorus] 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 1] My life's a masquerade A world of let's pretend, dear Since you took your love Pretending never ends, dear But I can't let you know That I still need you so, no [Chorus] (Darling I hide the tears that I cry) 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] I can't let you see All the tears I'm crying You would pity me That would be like dying If I can't have your love I don't need your sympathy [Chorus] (Darling I hide the tears that I cry) Whenever you're near I hide my tears Behind a painted smile You can't imagine the tears and sorrow Behind a painted smile [Bridge] My life is a masquerade Since you took your love away [Chorus] Whenever you're near I hide my tears I just can't let you see How much you hurting me Whenever you're near I hide my tears Behind a painted smile
