When Smiles Deceive What You Believe

I'm beginning to learn that
Not everyone who makes me smile
Is different, in the sense that
They deserve to know me

I used to let them know
When that uncontrollable grin spread
Across my face, in the sense that
They were the ones making me happy

Maybe it's just that I
Have found a state where I can be
Happy, in the sense that
I no longer need someone to make me smile


I've been betrayed too many times
By the smiles I've attributed to
Those ones who seem different
Gifted with some special ability

I've read too much into
What I thought they made me feel
And they've lead too much on to
What they let me think was real

Now it's hard to know
If i should trust the smiles
And the way they make me feel
And it's harder, still, to say
If I should keep it secret
Or to give myself away
When you don't know if you should believe how you react to a person because you've let yourself deceive you before...

I know what you mean, I currently live that waking nightmare right now...

And if you don't remember, you did this to me...to this day, I still wonder why
