Between A Laugh And A Tear |
When paradise is no longer fit for you to live in |
And your adolescent dreams are gone |
Through the days you feel a little used up |
And you don’t know where your energy’s gone wrong |
It’s just your soul feelin' a little downhearted |
Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live |
You count your friends all on one finger |
I know it sounds crazy just the way that we live |
Between a laugh and a tear |
Smile in the mirror as you walk by |
Between a laugh and a tear |
And that’s as good as it can get for us |
And there ain’t no reason to stop tryin' |
When this cardboard town can no longer amuse you |
You see through everything and nothin' seems worthwhile |
And hypocrite used to be such a big word to you |
And it don’t seem to mean anything to you now |
Just try to live each and every precious moment |
Don’t be discouraged by the future forget the past |
That’s old advise but it’ll be good to you |
I know there’s a balance see it when I swing past |
Between a laugh and a tear |
Smile in the mirror as you walk by |
Between a laugh and a tear |
And that’s as good as it can get for us |
And there ain’t no reason to stop tryin' |
When paradise can no longer amuse you… |
