Lyrics:

I'll try to explain to friends, dear
The reasons we two are apart
I know what to tell our friends, dear
But what can I tell my heart?
It's easy to say to strangers
That we played the game from the start
It's easy to lie to strangers
But why tell a lie to your heart?
When I smile to hide all the tears inside
What an ache it will bring
Then I'll wander home to a telephone
That forgot how to ring
I could say you'll soon be back, dear
To fool the whole town may be smart
I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear
But what can I tell my heart?

When I smile to hide all the tears inside
What an ache it will bring
Then I'll wander home to a telephone
Oh, that forgot how to ring
I could say you'll soon be back, dear
To fool the whole town may be smart
Oh, I could say you'll soon be back, dear
But what will I tell my heart?
Oh, what will I tell my heart?
(Yeah, alright)
