lyrics

Don’t ask me to smile
When you oppress me
Don’t ask me to smile
Just set me Free,

Don’t ask me to smile, So you may feel better
I cannot Smile
I’m not at peace

Each day I hear of one more gone
Too prematurely
Each day I grieve the loss of hope
Each day I grow more weary

Each night I find it hard to rest
My mind goes round in circles
We might just find ourselves involved
In one cruel rehearsal

Don’t ask me to smile
So you may find comfort
Don’t ask me to smile
Just set me free

Don’t ask me to smile
So you may rest easy
I cannot smile
I’m not at peace

I’ve heard the stories for far too long
The fight is never ending
We’ve put our pain in every song
A message we are sending

I’ve known your tricks oh too well
Far better than you know me
And even all the lies you tell
The truth will stand the truth will be

Don’t ask me to smile
So you may feel flattered
Don’t ask me to smile
For you cannot see

Don’t Ask me to smile
So you can feel Nurtured
I cannot smile
For I am not Free
