After My Laughter Came Tears
I left today
I saw you leave
I left and said
I never grieved
But after my laughter came tears

I told my friends
I didn't care
And I left about
The whole affair
But after my laughter came tears

My pride gave me
I sure can tell (a sure a dell?)
That I was blue
Oh but by myself
Nobody knew
What I went through

My lips concealed
My heart in pain
I make believe
That it was all in vain
But after my laughter came tеars

Yes my pride gave mе
But I sure can tell
That I was blue
Oh but by myself
Nobody knew
What I went through
My lips concealed
My heart in pain
I make believe
It was all in vain
But after my laughter came tears
