A smile that masks the real me.
Tears falling at the slightest thingMy head pounding and my heart breaking Time off from work, feeling a fraudThe facade I've put on, definitely flawed Strength and best wishes from both strangers and friendsRest, some time-out is what they recommend Where do I go from here, I hear myself sayPick myself up, shrug myself down and get back to the day-by-day But the day-to-day is different now, new routines to be setTrying to live each day without any regret It's time to start living again with those loved ones left behindOur memories and love for you, forever entwined And the next time you see me, with a smile on my faceI pray that it's genuine, and not a mask put there by mistake © Sam Kiernan 2014
Eight months on and it's a brick wall I've hit
It doesn't seem to matter how many candles I've litTears falling at the slightest thingMy head pounding and my heart breaking Time off from work, feeling a fraudThe facade I've put on, definitely flawed Strength and best wishes from both strangers and friendsRest, some time-out is what they recommend Where do I go from here, I hear myself sayPick myself up, shrug myself down and get back to the day-by-day But the day-to-day is different now, new routines to be setTrying to live each day without any regret It's time to start living again with those loved ones left behindOur memories and love for you, forever entwined And the next time you see me, with a smile on my faceI pray that it's genuine, and not a mask put there by mistake © Sam Kiernan 2014
