It's only twenty hours ahead
But I'd rather be at home instead
I'll act as if I'm older, and wiser
And it's not like I could ever lie to her
When she damn well knew it wasn't true

With a face thats turning a certain shade of blue

You know I've spent so long saving you from tears
It's gotten far too easy to fake that smile
You know nothing can bring back these twenty years
It's gotten far too easy to fake that smile

And we will love each other tonight

Now shes forever dead and gone
But I'll always be remembering her song
And her lungs can no longer hold her heavy heart
But one more smile would have been a good start

With a face thats turning a certain shade of blue

You know I've spent so long saving you from tears
It's gotten far too easy to fake that smile
You know nothing can bring back these twenty years
It's gotten far too easy to fake that smile

And she still said, I'll be forever whispering in your ear
Another gentle lie, of this is not the sun

We all sat down and we all sang,
We'll keep this alive until the day that we die

You know I've spent so long saving you from tears
It's gotten far too easy to fake that smile
You know nothing can bring back these twenty years
It's gotten far too easy to fake that smile

The day that we die
