lyrics

Sad Smile
by Russell, Stuart & Xavier
copyright © The Clear Blue Enterprise (socan)

I thought it would be easy just being your friend
I thought things would be different
I didn't see how it all would end
Now you're sitting here
Holding on to what's left of your pride
I'm holding back from crying inside

And it's a sad smile that you see
You don't know it's me that I'm sorry for
You just know that you're hurting

Now that it's all over and he's left you behind
You come and cry on my shoulder
You know I'm always kind
You know that I won't take advantage of this situation
But I'm am breaking inside

And it's a sad smile...

Now you're sitting here
Holding on to what's left of your pride
Heaven knows my pride has been left far behind

And it's a sad smile when we touch
Sad smile, yeah it hurts me so much
To be comforting you when all I really want to do
Is be loving you
