[Verse 1]
Sands of time
Running through my fingers
My life is slipping away
And I feel nothing
Swallow the tears
Eat the pain
It's worth the degradation
Eat the pain

[Chorus]
Behind the smile (The smile)
I feel nothing (Nothing)
I reach out to touch (To touch)
But I'm not really there

[Verse 2]
This reflection in the mirror
Can it really be me?
I see no connection with who
I wanted to be
Drink another glass
Swallow these pills
At the end of the rainbow
You take the bitter
The bitter with the sweet
[Chorus]
Behind the smile (The smile)
I feel nothing (Nothing)
I reach out to touch (To touch)
But I'm not really there

[Bridge]
When love dies
The angels cry
Here I am
Alone (Alone)
Alone in a crowd

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Behind the smile
I feel nothing
I reach out to touch
But I'm not really there

[Chorus]
Behind the smile (The smile)
I feel nothing (Nothing)
I reach out to touch (To touch)
But I'm not really there
