ten years and you're back again. but i don't want to go back to this. these kids were not my friends. high school memories just like a kiss. forget how they laughed. forget how i cried. forget everything. forget how i lied to myself. just like a kiss. and i can't forget how it was. just like a kiss. and i can't forget my discomfort. i'll never forget hiding behind this smile. i never intended to let them see me while i was afraid. always hiding behind something. that something's changing all the time. it seems i'm crying about nothing. or maybe it's something i kept inside of myself

    General Comment:i love this song. it reminds me of High School...how you could act like they're your friends when in reality they're not.

    I'll never forget hiding behind this smile....

    General Comment:i fucking love this song, it is all so true. it tells how i, (and i'm sure many others) feel about high school in a beautiful moving song. it is such a good cry yourself to sleep song and i think "it seems i'm crying about nothing. or maybe it's something i kept inside of myself" says it all too well.
