about

I brought this song to the band I was in at the time, Smack Bottom, and the guys liked it a lot. Then I rewrote the lyric and the singer (Hi, Sam) told me in no uncertain terms that the original was great and to not change a thing.

lyrics

So I smile
When I see you passing by
Yes, I smile
So you won't see me cry

And all the anger
And all the pain
And all the lies you told
Went up in flames
They say time
Can heal all wounds
And all this anger and this pain
Will fade away

Long ago
We thought that we both knew
Long ago
The meaning and the truth
You saw me beg
When we lost the will to fight
You saw me plead
When we both had to be right

And all the anger
And all the pain
And all the lies you told
Went up in flames
They say time
Can heal all wounds
And all this anger and this pain
Will fade away

And so now
I need you to see
Just how
I wanted things to be
'Cause it's not right
To live in bitterness
No, it's not right
We deserve more than this

And all the anger
And all the pain
And all the lies you told
Went up in flames
They say time
Can heal all wounds
And all this anger and this pain
Will fade away

So I smile
When I see you passing by
Yes, I smile
So you won't see me cry
