Hiding behind that smile again
This shade of sadness over you will clear up in the end
Same old grief being stirred up once again
When time is ticking slowly, you should only hang on

The sun is on its way to catch up with you tomorrow
It seems so far away when every minute lasts a year
It won’t be long before the dawn will come and cast away your sorrows
And all the ice inside your eyes in time will melt to tears

You wake up, another dream shattered
And words don’t seem to matter
Well they do an awful lot, I’d say
‘Cause in a way
It takes to talk about it
To get your head around it
And brighten up your blues

A thought might have to be
Now called a memory
While memories live on
Nothing’s gone

Loneliness turned out to be
Even worse in company
Occasionally feeling blue
Just became that little part of you
When heartache’s at your door again
Let it in, like some old friend
Who might reveal old grief
But always takes some with him as he leaves

Hold on a little while
There’ll be some joy back in that smile

Whatever gets you through the night (hold on, you’ll be fine tomorrow)
