Laughing on the OutsideEddie Rabbitt

Songwriter: Even Stevens David Malloy Eddie Rabbitt

Producer: David Malloy

I’m laughing on the outside, I’m crying on the inside
Trying my best to hide all these tears in my eyes
I’m laughing on the outside but I’m dying on the inside
Baby when you said goodbye, I put my heartache in disguise

Saw my friends on the street
They’re all asking me how I’m taking it
I act like nothing’s wrong
I don’t let on, I’m good at faking it
But just how long can I keep up this masquerade?
You know it’s just a saccharine

I’m laughing on the outside but I’m crying on the inside
Trying my best to hide all the pain I feel inside
I’m laughing on the outside but I’m dying on the inside
Baby when you said goodbye, I put my heartache in disguise

But how does the heartache last?
How much do you pay for love?
How long will I wear this mask?
How long can I keep it up?

Laughing on the outside, crying on the inside
Trying my best to hide all these tears in my eyes
I’m laughing on the outside but I’m dying on the inside
Baby when you said goodbye, I put my heartache in disguise

Saw you with someone last night
Had to fight the jealousy
So I smiled and said hello
Hope it didn’t show but it was killing me
And just how long can I keep up this masquerade?
You know it’s just a saccharine

I’m laughing on the outside but I’m crying on the inside
Trying my best to hide all these tears in my eyes
I’m laughing on the outside but I’m dying on the inside
Baby when you said goodbye, I put my heartache in disguise

I’m laughing on the outside but I’m crying on the inside
Trying my best to hide all these tears in my eyes
I’m laughing on the outside but I’m dying on the inside
Baby when...
