Lyric

The way you moved back then, in the faded light

Seemed so full of sadness, hiding from the night

Just to keep from being hated, playing a careful part

You put on a hollow smile, masking a heavy heart

Staring at the harsh reality right before my eyes

Watching through the shadows and the clever disguise

Without a real reason, or knowing what to say

I found myself asking you, trying to find a way

If it doesn't bring you happiness, throw that smile away

You don't have to force yourself to get through the day

When I finally get to meet your true, unmasked face

The real shape of your smile will find its own place

The way you walked back then, light upon the floor

Seemed so full of joy, like you couldn't ask for more

Deep within the corners where your soul begins to gleam

I could see the happiness of a realized dream

In this limited lifetime that we are given to spend

Counting down the hours until the very end

Quietly and softly, I drew myself to your side

Closing up the distance that we used to hide

If you feel the happiness, let our hearts align

Tie the knot together, let your spirit twine

When the fragments of our kindness softly start to show

The real shape of your smile will naturally grow

If it doesn't bring you happiness, throw that smile away

You don't have to force yourself to get through the day

When I finally get to meet your true, unmasked face

The real shape of your smile will find its own place

Yes, the real shape of your smile will find its place

Throw that smile away

Show me your true face

The real shape of your smile
