False Smiles

(mmmmm) You smiled so bright when the sun was high

Shared every secret, watched the hours go by

But when the clouds rolled in and shade came down

I looked around and there was no one in town

I see the mask beginning to fade

All of the promises that you made

Oh, you only love me in the golden hour

When the water's sweet and nothing's sour

But you run away when the cold wind blows

Yeah, you're a fair-weather friend and it shows

Your compliments felt like a gentle breeze

Now they just feel like a deep freeze

You only call me when you need a favor

Leaving a bitter, hollow flavor

No more taking, no more giving

I'm too busy actually living

Without your shadow over my head

(yeah, yeah)

Oh, you only love me in the golden hour

When the water's sweet and nothing's sour

But you run away when the cold wind blows

Yeah, you're a fair-weather friend and it shows

No,

it shows...

(fair-weather friend)
