Smile

When you've given everything you've got
But never seems as good enough
Lighting candles in the rain
You keep going back again
When you're lying on your bed
And everything you said, comes back at you
Like a shot out of the dark
What's a bullets through your heart
I can see you
In the shadow
Won't you step out here beside me
For a while?
Oh oh oh
Cuz anything could happen
Anything could happen when you smile
Smile
Break the spell tonight
Set my world alight
Go ahead and smile
Smile
Cuz you're too beautiful
To be crying now
What can I do to make you smile?
If every single cell in you
Is screaming out to say it's not okay
Let the blood rush through your veins
This is momentary pain
And as the feeling starts to bite
A tear drop will ignite a spark in you
You've been hiding it too long
Don't you know the nightmare's gone
I can see you
In the shadow
Won't you step out here beside me
For a while?
Oh oh oh
Cuz anything could happen
Anything could happen when you smile
Smile
Break the spell tonight
Set my world alight
Go ahead and smile
Smile
Cuz you're too beautiful
To be crying now
What can I do to make you smile?
You
Don't see
What I see
You don't know how beautiful you are
Just let
Me in
Let's step out of the dark
Cuz anything could happen
Anything could happen when you smile
Smile
Break the spell tonight
Set my world alight
Go ahead and smile
Smile
Cuz you're too beautiful
To be crying now
When you smile
Smile
Break the spell tonight
Set my world alight
Go ahead and smile
Smile
Cuz you're too beautiful
To be crying now
What can I do to make you smile?
