There's been a lot of talking
From the town where I come from
All my friends are saying things
Which make me doubt sincerity

What is the meaning
Of a truth or a lie?
What is the meaning
Of the things we feel inside?

I felt the pain
(Whenever you smile, whenever you cry)
I felt the pain
(Whenever you smile, whenever you cry)

In looking at your eyes
The feeling of love swells within my soul
Every word that I say
Has no meaning when you turned away

Why do I stay here
When I feel this way?
Why do I need to see you
On my darkest day?

I felt the pain
(Whenever you smile, whenever you cry)
I felt the pain
(Whenever you smile, whenever you cry)

I can see your little boy
Reminding me of who I was
I can see a little girl
She looks like you

I felt the pain
(Whenever you smile, whenever you cry)
I felt the pain
(Whenever you smile, whenever you cry)

I felt the pain
(Whenever you smile, whenever you cry)
I felt the pain
(Whenever you smile, whenever you cry)
(Whenever you smile, whenever you cry)
