Between A Laugh And A Tear Lyrics

When paradise is no longer fit for you to live in

And your adolescent dreams are gone

Through the days you feel a little used up

And you don't know where your energy's gone wrong

It's just your soul feelin' a little downhearted

SOmtimes life is too ridiculous to live

You count your friends all on one finger

I know it sounds crazy, just the way that we live

Between a laugh and a tear

Smile in the mirror as you walk by

Between a laugh and a tear

And that's as good as it can get for us

And there ain't no reason to stop tryin'

When this cardboard town can no longer amuse you

You see through everything and nothin' seems worthwhile

And hypocrite used to be such a big word to you

And it don't seem to mean anything to you now

Just try to live each and every precious moment

Don't be discouraged by the future, forget the past

That's old advise but it'll be good to you

I know there's a balance, see it when I swing past

Between a laugh and a tear

Smile in the mirror as you walk by

Between a laugh and a tear

And that's as good as it can get for us

And there ain't no reason to stop tryin'

When paradise can no longer amuse you
