There are times when everything I do is wrong
There are times I see no reason to go on
Saw your face in this place
Dressed in those prehistoric clothes
And it hurt inside and something died
But I'll never let it show

Chorus
Cause I'm smiling through the tears
Cause I'm smiling through the tears
Cause I'm smiling through the tears

Thought by now all those black clouds would pass away
Thought by now I'd seen my errors and mistakes
I wait and I wait
For a meaningful sign
I'm so sick of the rain and trying to explain
That I'm really doing fine

Chorus

I can't be hurt, I can't be hurt any more
I've been hurt so many times
I just laugh when I cry, what I mean to say
Is that I can make up my mind
So I wait in the dark, just like St. Joan of Arc
And it closes in on me
I just stop, go, hot, cold
Everything I feel has got victory

Chorus
