The Land of Broken Smiles

I found a place where love can't go

The silence is heard for miles

A place where dreams will never grow

In the land of broken smiles

A land where love has been replaced

With lots of empty things

The only sound that's been embraced

Is the sound a heartache brings

A land with echoes far and wide

A lonely and hollow sound

A barren place where hope has died

With smiles all over the ground

A land where trust is just a myth

A place where lies have grown

Where scars are built to justify with

For that's all I've ever known

Happy endings are cast aside

And stacked in tiny piles

The only place where love's denied

In the land of broken smiles
