A smile, worn like an umbrella

Keeps my powder dry

When I’m supposed to cry

But I’ve been meaning to tell you

That that happy guy

Was just a lie

‘Cos when you walked away

You took away my happiness

Without you here my life’s a mess

And when you walked away

I gave a wave, a little smile

I said I'd see you in a while

But inside

I was crying, too

I made plans for the future

For the two of us

Now there's one of us

But I'm not ready to shoot ya

It was just a plan of a lonely man

'Cos when you walked away

You took away my happiness

Without you here my life’s a mess

And when you walked away

I gave a wave, a little smile

I said I'd see you in a while

But inside

I was crying, too

'Cos when you walked away

You took away my happiness

Without you here my life’s a mess

And when you walked away

I gave a wave, a little smile

I said I'd see you in a while

But inside

I was crying,

I was crying too
