smile

I wanna make her think, I wanna make her feel
Something that she never has, I wanna give her something real
Used to being hurt, I wanna show her something better
I wanna be her everything, I wish that I could let her
But I can't- 'cause I'm too insecure, I need to work on me
Every time that I get close, I'm like a market- always flee
Is it the commitment? Why can't I seem to stick with it?
Always getting distant, never feel enrichment, become nonexistent
And every time that I get close
Always seem to let it go, never seem to hold my own
But there's something different 'bout you
You got that smile
You got that smile
You got that smile
It makes me wanna stay a while
It makes me wanna stay a while
You got that smile
You got that smile
You got that smile
It makes me wanna stay a while
It makes me wanna stay a while
I wanna be myself, I wanna love again
I'd commit myself, give anything if I could let you in
Went to therapy, that didn't help, I didn't question it
Past relationship got me torn up, I don't feel too fit
I don't wanna put you through what I went through
No need to repeat offend and that's why I'm so scared of you
I'm just scared that I'll become exactly what I hate, now it's far too late
Wish that I could execute, but that's not me, that's not my fate
And every time that I get close
Always seem to let it go, never seem to hold my own
But there's something different 'bout you
You got that smile
You got that smile
You got that smile
It makes me wanna stay a while
It makes me wanna stay a while
You got that smile
You got that smile
You got that smile
It makes me wanna stay a while
It makes me wanna stay a while
