“People think our music's very aggressive or angry or whatever, and it's just the opposite, really, ... I like laughing. And I like being really calm before a show, and smiley.”

-Serj Tankian


Put a smile on your face
Don’t cry
Even if the time has come to say goodbye
I promise to write
Something neither of us will keep
But I’ll miss you at night
And think of you when I try to sleep
So put a smile on your face
Don’t cry
Even if the time had come to say goodbye
I’ll make new friends
I’ll say they’re better than you
Even when it’s not true
But at night I’ll cry
And think of when I said goodbye
I’ll try to call
You won’t be there
I’ll pretend I don’t care
We’ll grow apart eventually
Without a thought to what good friends we used to be
So put a smile on your face
Don’t cry
Even if the time has come to say goodbye

The author's comments:
I was supposed to write a ton of poetry for a class project, and I started thinking about saying goodbye, whether it's a friend moving away, breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend, or someone dying. Goodbyes are just sad.
