I laugh, I smile, I talk a while. You laugh, you smile…
“I laugh, I smile, I talk a while. You laugh, you smile, you stay a while. I'm hurt, I hide, I wear a mask. You joke, you kid, but never ask. We leave, we part, our paths are split. You're deaf, you're blind, You don't care zip. But when I sigh, but when I cry, but when I fin'lly draw the line. You'll see, you'll hear, you'll feel when fin'lly, they'll bury this cold corpse of mine.”
