Painting On This Smile

by Some Random Human   Aug 22, 2011


You say you don't know why I'm bitter,
you say you don't know why I care,
but baby, you were a quitter,
the way you left just wasn't fair,
and I've been wishing ever since,
that I had never met you,
now my life's not making any sense,
'cause you said that we were through,

I'm sick of painting on this smile,
I'm sick of acting like I'm okay,
I've felt this way for a while,
I just couldn't fake it today,
'cause it's been building up,
and now I'm about to explode,
you said that it wasn't enough,
when I gave you everything that I owned,

Yeah, it's just another day,
and it's just another lie,
why do you treat me this way,
why did you say goodbye,
well, I don't think I can handle,
another second of this,
the way that you dismantle,
my heart, and put these marks on my wrist,

I'm sick of painting on this smile,
I'm sick of acting like I'm okay,
I've felt this way for a while,
I just couldn't fake it today,
'cause it's been building up,
and now I'm about to explode,
you said that it wasn't enough,
when I gave you everything that I owned,

Well, I'm never as good as you wanted,
I just can't meet your needs,
and every victory you've flaunted,
you just wanna feed your greed,
now I'm waving the white flag,
now I'm down on the floor,
I gave you all that I had,
but you still wanted more,

I'm sick of painting on this smile,
I'm sick of acting like I'm okay,
I've felt this way for a while,
I just couldn't fake it today,
'cause it's been building up,
and now I'm about to explode,
you said that it wasn't enough,
when I gave you everything that I owned,

Now I don't know why you're bitter,
no, I don't know why you care,
because you were the quitter,
so why would you think I'd be there,
and you've been wishing ever since,
that you'd never left me,
'cause your life's not making any sense,
but baby I'm finally free,

I no longer have to paint on this smile,
'cause I'm doing okay,
plan on feeling this way for a while,
so I can't take you back today...
