mono* Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've tried to make you understand.
You never try to see behind my smile.
If I didn't know you like I do,
I'd let you into the secret in me.
Just because I'm good at fooling you,
When no ones around I'll walk in your shoes.
I'm smiling while lying to you
I'm smiling while lying to you
If you only knew.
I always try,
To hide behind a painted smile.
So many things the public never sees.
If I didn't know you like I do (I do),
I'd let you into the secret in me.
Just because I'm good at fooling you,
When no ones around I'll walk in your shoes.
I'm smiling (I'm smiling)
While lying (while lying)
To you (to you)
I'm smiling (I'm smiling)
While lying (while lying)
To you (to you)
When will you see through?
(Day day day)
I'm smiling (I'm smiling)
While lying (while lying)
To you (to you)
I'm smiling (I'm smiling)
While lying (while lying)
To you (to you)
If you only knew.
I'm smiling (I'm smiling)
While lying (while lying)
To you (and you don't see through)
I'm smiling (I'm smiling)
While lying (while lying)
To you (to you)
I'm smiling while lying to you
If you only knew.
I'm smiling (I'm smiling)
While lying (while lying)
To you (but you don't see my smile).
I'm smiling (I'm smiling)
While lying (while lying)
To you (to you)
If you only knew.

The Nineties was the decade of cool, It started out with Acid Jazz and Trip Hop took it to next level mid decade.
