After My Laughter Came Tears lyrics

Verse 1:

Our old friends may tell you I'm not grieving,

But I've missed you since you went away,

To our friend I've just been make believing,

Don't believe a single word they say.

Refrain:

I laughed the day I saw you leave,

I laughed and said I'd never grieve,

But after the laughter came tears.

I told my friends I didn't care,

I laughed about our whole affair,

But after the laughter came tears.

My pride kept me from showing them that I was blue

But by myself you'll never know what I've been thru.

My lips concealed a heart in pain,

I made believe, but all in vain

For after my laughter came tears.

Verse 2:

Once I may have thought I was above you,

Now I know thatyou're too good for me,

Since you're goneI realize I love you,

And I don't deserve your sympathy.

Refrain
