Take care when you wear your brightest smile,
it can make you blind.
I know you can see the silver linings but
do you notice the dark clouds, lurkin’ behind?
Watch out when your feet lift off the ground,
it can hurt when you fall,
and when you think there’s nothin’ bad going down
you might not be seeing it all…

Chorus…
We’re all drawn to it, tempted by the chance,
we all fall thru it, blinded by romance.
We’re all drawn to it, tempted by the chance,
we all fall thru it blinded by romance.
It’s a fact of life…
when the sun’s in the garden, the shadow’s at the back door.
It’s a fact of life,
euphoria, is fitted with a trapdoor.

When I was sat on top of the world,
things never felt so good.
It hit me hard when the bubble burst like
everybody told me it would.
With lady luck at my side I’d seen the end of my troubles,
thought I’d seen the last of hurt and pain;
but the light I saw at the end of the tunnel
turned out to be the headlamp of an oncoming train!

Chorus

I’d tell you to be an optimist if I
thought it would work out.
I’d tell you, “believe life’s promises,”
If I didn’t have a doubt.
But it’s a fickle world, tuned into change
highs are soon replaced by tears,
today’s smiles are tomorrow’s pain
as nothing is all it appears…

Chorus.
