On The Surface

On the surface everything seems right
 No one notices the dimness of the light
 For the world outside our door our smiles are, oh, so brigh
 On the surface everything's all right
 We have the grace of actors on the stage
 We orchestrate the moves that complement the play
 But the things that we believe in we just throw them away
 On the surface everything's okay
 ♪
 We say goodnight and then we close our eyes
 To drift in different worlds far from each other's sight
 Dreaming of yesterday when we held each other tight
 And on the surface everything's all right
 What are you thinking tonight I don't know you
 (I don't know you)
 My words disappear in the night and there's no one there to notice
 
 Maybe our lives will never be the same
 But we can face tomorrow if we can just get through today
 I'm holding back the tears while you're pushing me away
 But on the surface everything's okay
 Yeah, on the surface everything's okay
