Smile Songtext
von Descendents

I can see your pain has left you locked up, beat down
I can see the fear has made you desperate, burnt out

Too much regret and shattered hope
Sent you slipping down that slope
All I can do is lend a hand
Be a friend again
And it′s OK if you want to vent, but...

What I wouldn't give to see you smile
Once in a while
What I wouldn′t give to see you smile
Once in a while


I can feel the bitterness that drains you, poisons you
And all those grass-is-greener thoughts, I'm telling you, they're killing you

You′re not a have-not, can′t you see
What you've got′s so important to me
Measuring your life versus theirs
You'll always come out ahead
In all the ways that really matter, so...

I can see your pain has left you locked up, beat down
Desperate, burnt out, I′m telling you, it's killing you, killing you, killing you

I can see your pain...
There′s nothing I can say...
Except

Toil away, and at the end of the day
You can look back on a game well played
