"Smile Away" lyrics

[CLARA:]
I've got my hand on a needle and a thread
'Cause only when I'm sewing can I clear my head
I have learned to close them out
I've learned to push away
'Cause I don't have the answers
Don't have the words to say

'Cause I don't know where the wind is blowing
I don't know where the sun will set
I don't know where the hell I'm going
I don't know what happens next

But I just keep smiling
Just pretend that everything's okay
Smile away
Won't let them see the pain

I just keep grinning
Just pretend that everything is fine
I'm alright
Won't let them see me cry

[CAROL:]
I've got my hand on a half empty drink
'Cause only when my throat is warm
Can I truly think
I have learned to just give up
I've learned to just resign
'Cause every love ends in a heartbreak of mine

[CLARA & CAROL:]
See I don't know where the wind is blowing
I don't know where the sun will set
I don't know where the hell I'm going
I don't know what happens next

[CAROL:]
But I just keep smiling
Just pretend that everything's okay
Smile away
Don't let them see the pain

[CLARA & CAROL:]
Just keep grinning
Just pretend that everything is fine
I'm alright
Won't let them see me cry

[CLARA:]
Like mother, like daughter

[CAROL:]
Like Frankenstein and monster

[CLARA & CAROL:]
We push away the thing that gives us spite

[CAROL:]
Love and forgiveness

[CLARA:]
We're too far gone, so we give

[CLARA & CAROL:]
Our best to hide the guilt in our eyes

So I just keep smiling
Just pretend that everything's okay
Smile away
Don't let them see the pain

I just keep grinning
Just pretend that everything is fine
I'm alright
Don't let them see you cry

[CLARA:]
Just keep smiling
Just pretend that everything's okay
Smile away
Don't let them see the pain
