Behind The Smile

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 I 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 sposed 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 haven’t been happy
Behind the smile

So it’s known, Matthew Sweet’s Blue Sky On Mars is one of the most under-appreciated albums of the 90’s.
