Matthew Sweet

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 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 side

Or standing in your way?

'Cause if this is a sign

I don't know what it's supposed 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 believe.

I haven't been a good friend

For a long, long time.

You know I wasn't happy

Behind the smile.
