Fake Smile

For just a moment

For only a second

I felt it, the tender embrace

Of something so sweet to taste

Another much like myself

But different from everyone else

Someone special that meant much more

More than anyone before

A new type of being that deserves recognition

Ignition, to go where you'll never know

So try for better luck

And tuck in your shirt

Clean off that dirt

Flirt, make yourself known

Tone will tell them how you feel

Seal your emotion with the subtle commotion

The notion of love is much to thick

I might get sick

That type of thing though makes my heart tick

Bicker and quarrel are some things that aren't moral

For all the things that I've thought

Taught me that not all is as it seems

She beams her fake smile

She's shown it all the while

In denial I must have been

I swore I'd never see one again

Then I did and it wouldn't go away

I saw that fake smile every day

Fake and false they say

Can't they just go away

She was a dream of mine

Come to find she's real but wrong

Not singing to the happy song

I'd envisioned all along

The song instead was sad and lonely

If only she'd been the one

What fun it would have been

To have loved again
