Just Because...

Just Because... 1955 (Cape)

Lyric
Just Because...

You often see me smile a lot,         But seldom does it mean          I'm happy with the life I've got;            I seldom am serene.
I know I'm often silly when         We talk on our cell phone          It's just an act to hide again         The fear I've always known.
Anxiety will not release          My mind, but have its way                     To suffocate attempts at peace,               Which leads my hope astray.
