Smiling Through Goodbye

You said I′d be the one, I'll never let go

Funny how the facts got a better show

I capture letters then I let them burn

Watch the smoke rise, let sand burn

Now you call it love, I call it fake

Don′t call it fake

I call it too late or too late

I'm not bitter, just free at last

Holding my breath for a thing that passed

Smiling with a goodbye

With a calm little spark in my eye

You can keep the tears, I got my pride

I'm doing fine on the other side

No, I don't miss the way you lie

I just wait and let it drift by

Heartbreak, what you plan tonight?

I'm dancing with the truth, alright

You wanted silence, so I'll embrace

Put your memory in a paper place

Tip the scars you left and made it mine

Turn the ache into a straight line

Man, you called it luck, I called it fate

I call it fate, I call it too little too late

I'm not angry, I'm just clear

You were the storm and now I'm still here

Smiling through the goodbye

With a common old spark in my eye

You can't heed the tears, I've kept my pride

I'm doing fine on the other side

No, I don't miss the way you lie

I just wait and let it drift by

Heartbreak was your plan tonight

I'm dancing with the truth, oh, babe

Maybe someday you'll understand

Love's not a cage you can hold in your hand

I gave you warmth, you gave me cold

Now I'm brighter than the stories you told

Just riding through the good life

With a comatose spark in my eye

Cubic heat the tears, I got my pride

I'm doing fine on the other side

No, I don't miss the way you land

I just wave and let it drift by

If heartbreak was the plan tonight

I'm good and I'm doing alright
