When I defend him like I do He's not an ending many would refuse If I forgive him, will I be sure? I'll stretch my limbs to him evermore
It's not the words that I can't say It's just the shame that I can't make Sorry, dear, now you're near, I am not so strong To appear with him here when our war begun
And keep smiling Keep smiling Keep smiling Keep smiling
Curved at the edges, first in a frown Held like a trophy, there in my mouth
It's not the worst that I can't be him Giving to you and then at least I will find, I'm resigned to the boy and me I forget what he did, turn the other cheek
And keep smiling Keep smiling Keep smiling Keep smiling
Look away, look away From the face that gave Look away, look away From mistakes made Look away, look away Look at what you made
