Smile for me when I take this picture,
I know you'd make it perfect if you tried.
The reward seems to be so sinecure,
Has the happiness inside you just died?
And you tears (Swallowed by fears)
Last for years (Grinding your gears)
If you let them win (Sorrowed by sin)
Will burrow within (And abscess kin).
But don't take this the wrong way,
Just because you've been so misunderstood.
So, what's left for me to say?
Except, you're too sheltered for your own good.
And if that's what you want, it's fine with me,
Just don't bring me down with your memory.
Do what's right (In your mind),
Tell yourself (Just in time).
(Smile for me...)
When I took this picture!
(Soft lips and dimples too)
Tel me that I fixed her!
(Bright eyes and what to do).
Killed - With a kiss - Without a smile,
Spilled - And amiss - But not awhile.
Bury this promise again!
(And show me where it ends).
And these tears (Swallowed by fears)
Lasted years (Grinding gears)
And they win (Sorrowed sin)
Burrow in (Abscess kin).
Can't you see what's wrong?
Or are your eyes still closed?
Will it take this song,
Until you are exposed?
I can't believe it's become this hard,
To relieve your broken, beaten heart.
Do this right (If you're kind),
So tonight (Is the time).
(So perfectly...)
When I took this picture!
(Soft lips and dimples too)
Tel me that I fixed her!
(Bright eyes and what to do).
Killed - With a kiss - Without a smile,
Spilled - And amiss - But not awhile.
Bury this promise again!
(And show me where it ends).
Oh, These tears (Swallowed fears)
Lasting years (Grinding gears)
But they win (Sorrowed sin)
Burrowed in (Abscessed kin).
Oh, I know I could get this right,
If I only tried.
Just to see that one darling sight;
If she never cried.
Your beauty will never fade at all,
That is, If you decide not to fall.
If it's right (It's a sign),
Be the might (Under fire).
(And then you'll see...)
When I took this picture!
(Soft lips and dimples too)
Tel me that I fixed her!
(Bright eyes and what to do).
Killed - With a kiss - Without a smile,
Spilled - And amiss - But not awhile.
Bury this promise again!
(And show me where it ends).
Your tears (And your fears)
Of these years (In your gears)
Shall win (The sin)
Within (Your kin).
This is your choice and not mine;
To seek the joy within.
And I don't know what you'll find,
But you'll know once you've been...
To this place of unfathomable difference,
But without a smile you won't find your footprints.
This is right (Don't be blind),
Yours tonight (Redesigned).
(What it means to be happy...)
When I took this picture!
(Soft lips and dimples too)
Tel me that I fixed her!
(Bright eyes and what to do).
Killed - With a kiss - Without a smile,
Spilled - And amiss - But not awhile.
Bury this promise again!
(And show me where it ends).
Oh, If you could only smile for me,
Then maybe someday you'll finally see,
What it is that we strive for,
And something else so much more...
To be happy!
(And smile once again)
For all to see!
(And let it all within)
Buried today! (The promises)
That you say! (And confess)
But I can't live without it,
Please, Don't make me doubt it).
(Oh...)
You killed me (With a kiss)
And without a smile (You spilled me)
All amiss in less (Than awhile).
But if its right (For you)
Then it's what you do (And tonight)
I Can't stop (Your might)
In your mind (Just in time).
(Please...)
Smile for me,
So perfectly,
And then you'll see,
What it means to be happy.
