lyrics

No Smiles On Me

Well, my smile is getting thin
Put me in the mood I'm in
I don't know where to begin

Once again she let me down
Said she might be jumping town
Leaving me to hang around

And she did this twice before, now I'm tangled up inside
She will never answer for the love that she denied

Well, this day is just the start
And I know it all by heart
When my cool will fall apart

She will take my sunny day
Make it rain and go away
Until everything is dark

She devised another plan with another man, not me
Yes, I think I know his name with a louder game than me

Only yesterday she held me like a flower
She let fall away to die
Fast forward to today, I'm wilting by the hour
Fretting minutes that go by

And she did this twice before, now I'm tangled up inside
She will never answer for the love that she denied

Well, my smile has disappeared
She so freely commandeered
All this sorrow that's around

Everything that I had feared
Advertised itself and reared
Then it nailed me to the ground

And she did this twice before with another man, to me
She will never answer for the burn she scarred on me
