Thin, Weak Smile Lyrics by Franklin Bruno

Kiss Without Makeup

2000

[Verse 1]
You're callin' her the devil now because
She wasn't quite the angel you convinced yourself she was
But no one could be quite the person who
You thought you had discovered when you thought she wanted you
[Chorus]
Now you've weathered all the damage
But the most that you can manage is a thin, weak smile
Go home and prepare it
'Cause I think you’re gonna wear it for a while
[Verse 2]
You wish that you could face her with some pride
But every time you see her in the street you turn aside
You've lost it all, you've had your fall from grace
Now you're gonna need some armor if you're gonna show your face
[Chorus]
So you fumble and you fluster
And the most that you can muster is a thin, weak smile
Go home and prepare it
'Cause I think you're gonna wear it for a while
[Bridge]
Everybody knows if you're a fraud
You’re not fooling anybody with that nonchalant façade
I hope someday you grow a thicker skin
'Cause there’s only so much mileage left in your shit-eating grin
[Chorus]
Now you've weathered all the damage
But the most that you can manage is a thin, weak smile
Time may still repair it but you'll then just grin and bear it
You’re gonna have to wear it for a while
