Behind The Smile Lyrics - Blue Sky On Mars - Matthew Sweet

I haven't been a good friend 

For a long, long time 

You know I wasn't happy 

Behind the smile 

Anywhere you look 

A reason to believe 

But think of what it took 

To bring me to my proper place 

And I haven't been a good friend 

For a long, long time 

I haven't been a good friend 

While you've been mine 

Now am I by your side 

Or standing in your way 

'Cause if this is a sign 

I don't know what it's s'posed to mean 

And I haven't been a good friend 

For a long, long time 

I haven't been a good friend 

While you've been mine 

I have seen my perfect day 

I have watched it fade away 

You know I'm fighting to be real 

I haven't been a good friend 

For a long, long time 

You know I wasn't happy 

Behind the smile
