Did I hear you laugh 
Or was that a scream? 
I don't quite think you're what you seem 
Is there an honest face 
In a hidden place waiting to be seen 
It's just another day 
In your tragic play 
And then I hear you say 
"It's changed"...but there's something strange 
'Cause you're not the same... 

When you smile 
I can see the pain and the sadness makes me cry 
Your eyes 
Are an open door to the fiction in your life 

Is that a happy face 
Or a hiding place? 
'Cause your smile's not so real 
Is there a touch of science to your silence 
When it comes to what you feel? 

It's just another stain 
on your robe of shame 
And now it's just so plain to see 
That you're just like me...emotionally 

When you smile... 
I can see the pain and compassion make me cry 
Your eyes... 
Are an open door to the fiction in your life 

If it's the truth that hurts 
Then see how you're killing me 
So easily...when you smile 

When you smile 
I can see the pain and the sadness makes me cry 
Your eyes 
Are an open door to the fiction in your life
