Ill 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
Its easy to say to strangers
That we played the game from the start
Its 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 be bring
Then Ill wander home to a telephone
That forgot how to ring

I could say youll soon be back, dear
To fool the whole town may be smart
Ill tell them youll 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 be bring
Then Ill wander home to a telephone
That forgot how to ring

I could say youll soon be back, dear
To fool the whole town may be smart
Ill tell them youll soon be back, dear
But what can I tell my heart

Oh, what will I tell my heart
