Iron smile

by andhereIstand   Jul 2, 2008


Want to paint my face
and pretend that I am someone else
sometimes I can barely breath
the person I run from the most is myself

I am slowly falling apart
I wish youd stop pulling at my heart
you think its so easy for me to walk away
so I guess my plastered smile is all you see

sometimes I find myself shaking-
everything reminds me of you
and then it hits me and I cant
even believe this is happening to we two

I am slowly falling apart
I wish you would just give back my broken heart
you think its so easy for me to walk away
so I guess my iron smile is all you see

    This has a very lyrical feel to it. I can almost imagine it was written with a tune in mind. I also like the concept of an iron smile. People just don't use such wonderful phrasing that much, and that's a shame. What you've done here is a great breath of fresh air. Only minor point: line 3 should be "breathe" not "breath". :-)
