Lyrics
Smirking Girl (Poem)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you turn the pages of the past
you'll often find a story without an ending
no 'Amen' to say it's over
all you have is a name you would rather forget
but it isn't over yet
not when you've built your castle out of barricades
to guard against the fools you beat so long ago
long before you even knew they were fools
but even longer since you saw a god in anyone
and for such an independent soul
you sure wanted to believe in someone else
can you blame them that you hate them
smirking girl, you ask too much
who said anyone would show you the way
who said anyone would care what you'll do someday
You're all alone here
you can't buy what isn't there
You're all alone here
you can't change what isn't fair
how obstinate you are
you can't forgive the
mall they did was make you cry
on every day that passed you by
how wise they were to know you didn't like them
how foolish they should have to ask you why
