Life is a jerky ride

They might smile
For a while
But they soon will
Cry

Behind every happy face
Is a lonely soul
Sitting at home
Treating life as a hole

They sit there and cry
Till they cry their eyes dry
And then they go out and smile

People have a good and bad side
People have a happy and sad side
Life is a jerky ride.

Happiness for some
Is sadness for others
Lying in bed
Crying under the covers

They won't show it outside
Won't let people know they cried
