The Facade

The façade is your smile
And your eyes that avoid meeting mine
Your hello also gives you away

The façade is all the things that you do
They merely work against you
But I'm not fooled—you don't care anymore

And everything that we shared
Has now become a charade
Of our beautiful love

The façade is a yawn
That comes on when you've had lots of sleep
You repeat things that you've said once before

I stand here looking at you
Aware of what I should do
But I won't say goodbye

'Cause I would rather have you
You and your foolish façade
Than not to have you at all

As we talk, I stand here looking at you
Aware of what I should do
Oh, but I'm not gonna say goodbye

'Cause I would rather have you
You and your foolish façade
Than not to have you at all
