Smile Through Denial
words and melody by Dan Sheehan, music by Lance Vallis

Must I explain myself 1000 times again?
Seems my position I'm unable to defend
Can I convince you now of things that you would not consider then?

Do I live for so little to base my sanity
On the meager glimpses of attention you give me?
Am I pathetic or is this just the way things have to be?

I'm on trial as I smile through denial!

Have I been obliviously living in a dream?
Seems now that reality is nothing like it seemed
Am I playing the part or is this not the way you wrote the scene?

Days of barefoot freedom and staring at the Sun
Days of happily ignoring everyone
Try to convince myself that you are not the only one

I'm on trial
As I smile through denial!

Have I brought this on myself or do you share the blame?
Do you simply shrug it off or do you feel the same?
