Been living my life
One day at a time
Hoping one day I’d die
Lying every time
I’m asked if I’m alright
With nothing but a smile
But something’s different
The smile on my face
Has become recurrent
When you enter my space
A pit in my stomach grows
Almost like I’m starving my ass off
Trying to figure out why I froze
As at the end of the day I watch you walk off
And I’m left awestruck and star struck
Unsure of what just happened to me
These feelings hit me like a runaway truck
It felt good and bad at the same time
And I felt happy and sad about it all
Because you walked away
With a smile on your face
But I didn’t know what to say
‘Cause I didn’t want to see it fade
So I let you walk away..
Just about every damn day
‘Cause I know how much it hurts
Right after a fading smile
And I just don’t want to cause you hurt
So I take the brunt of that fading smile
And just walk away too
Trying not to cry
Is there something wrong with me..?
And I’m left awestruck and star struck
Unsure of what just happened to me
These feelings hit me like a runaway truck
It felt good and bad at the same time
And I felt happy and sad about it all
Because you walked away
With a smile on your face
But I didn’t know what to say
‘Cause I didn’t want to see it fade
It’s just too much pain
When that smile fades
So I will do my best to make you smile always
And let this fading smile have it’s way
It’s always fading
And I’m left wading
Through the waves
And I can’t do a thing
But feel it fade away
And it always fades away
It’s always fading
And I’m left wading
Through the waves
And I can’t do a thing
But feel it fade away
And it always fades away
That’s the bane of a fading smile
That’s the pain of a fading smile
That’s a fading smile..
