Lyrics

Faded smile

The summer sun, the winter rain
Caressed the beauty of your face.
As time and sorrow took this gift away
No loving hand to take its place.

The things we want to mask our insecurities
Are not enough as time goes by.
Poor substitutions for the things we need
And leave us desperate wondering why.

Only a fool gives up the chance to love.
Only a fool is afraid of live.
There seems to be less risk in giving up
But you can gamble, lose and still survive.

The things we want to mask our insecurities
Are not enough as time goes by.
You couldn’t even bear to waste a while
With memories of a faded smile.
