With my head up high I'll walk right by
Smiling, looking you straight in the eye
But right as I get away from this place
Tears of mascara will run down my face

There's that point in the night when the tears fall down

That time when I know there's nobody around

But as the dawn breaks I smile, they don't know I'm faking

Through the laughs and the jokes there's a fragile heart breaking...

With tears in my eyes, my mascara a mess
I stood there standing in that black dress
Knowing that now I would have to let go…
As they lowered your casket into the snow…

I fall to my knees and hit the ground
Put my head in my hands as tears fall down
I see you with her, my heart starts to break
Because letting you go… was my mistake

She sees him holding someone else
Repeats to herself, don’t cry-be tough
But tears roll down and she turns away
Knowing she’ll never be good enough

I look at the rose that still sits on my dresser, the one you gave me years ago. I think about how it resembles the love we had: Once beautiful, once alive, but then died. And even though I know it wont come to life again I cant seem to throw it away..

I wake up smiling, and I put on our song
It’s the year anniversary of when I met you
But I fall to my knees, tears run down my face
I guess I forgot…you found someone new

I look away as I see you there
Your fingers tangled in her hair
Touching her cheek with your fingertips
Gently kissing her on the lips…

That used to be me, I realize
And I walk away, with tears in my eyes...

I cry in the shadows as they walk away
Fall to my knees and I start to pray
“God, please wipe these tears from my face,
And find me a guy who can take his place…"

She smiles and says "I'm happy for you"
And she turns around and walks away
She's careful not to let him see
The painful tears stream down her face...
