[Verse 1]
I laughed the day I saw you leave
I laughed and said I'd never grieve
But now after my laughter came tears
(After my laughter came tears)

[Verse 2]
I told my friends I didn't care
I laughed about our whole affair
But say now after my laughter came tears
(Came tears, came tears)

[Bridge]
My crying helped me from showing them
That I was blue
Listen, by myself you'll never know
What I've been through
(Just what I'm going through)

[Verse 3]
My lips conceal a hurting pain
I make believe but all in vain
I said now after my laughter came tears
(Came tears, came tears)

[Piano solo]
[Bridge]
My crying helped me from showing them
That I was blue
But now, by myself you'll never know
What I've gone through
(Just what I'm going through)

[Verse 3]
My lips conceal a hurting pain
I make believe but now all in vain
I said now after my laughter came tears
(Came tears, came tears)
