Snake Smile

Verse 1

You smile when you see me walk in

Say you proud, say you rock with me

But the room feel cold when I leave it

I can feel the shift in your energy

Hugs don’t land like they used to

Love sound fake when you say my name

I hear echoes in empty laughter

Even silence don’t sound the same

Pre-Chorus

You swear it’s love, but I know better

I see through every little gesture

Too much sugar, too much pressure

Something bitter in the nectar

Chorus

You smiling in my face

Talking when I’m gone

Turned energy, yeah

I been feeling it all along

You playin’ both sides

But I read you like a sign

Snake in the grass

With a pretty little smile

Verse 2

You call me up when you need me

Disappear when I need you

Say my name in conversations

Like it’s currency you can use

I don’t need no fake protection

I don’t need no borrowed love

I been learning real affection

Don’t come coated in a hug

Pre-Chorus

You swear it’s love, but I know better

I see through every little gesture

Too much sugar, too much pressure

Something bitter in the nectar

Chorus

You smiling in my face

Talking when I’m gone

Turned energy, yeah

I been feeling it all along

You playin’ both sides

But I read you like a sign

Snake in the grass

With a pretty little smile

Bridge (Breakdown / Whispered Vocals)

I don’t hate you

I just see you

That’s the difference now

I don’t chase you

I release you

I protect my crown

Chorus (Final)

You smiling in my face

Talking when I’m gone

Turned energy, yeah

I been feeling it all along

I’m cutting loose ties

Yeah, I’m leaving you behind

No more snakes around

This peace of mind is mine

Outro

Keep your smile

I’ll keep my soul

I outgrew the lies

Yeah, I’m in control
