Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We keep on growing, no, it never stops
Our bodies change, and so do our thoughts
Time will make strangers outta your best friends
You catch your breath and then it's gone again
[Chorus]
Under that smile is just a mound of stress
You're Armageddon in a summer dress
Suppress it all until your stomach hurts
Honest and lonely, it would only be worse
[Verse 2]
Marry a man you haven't loved in years
Give birth to kids who will have good careers
Resent them for the sacrifice you made
Force them to walk loveless roads you pave
[Chorus]
Under that smile is just a mound of stress
You're Armageddon in a summer dress
Suppress it all until your stomach hurts
Honest and lonely, it would only be worse
[Bridge]
In your old age as you prepare for death
Regret will haunt you till there's no you left
It's bittersweet, but at least it's the end
You catch your breath and then it's gone again
[Chorus]
Under that smile is just a mound of stress
You're Armageddon in a summer dress
Suppress it all until your stomach hurts
Honest and lonely, it would only be worse
[Chorus]
Under that smile is just a mound of stress
You're Armageddon in a summer dress
Suppress it all until your stomach hurts
Honest and lonely, it would only be worse
