Heart Smile


I’ve seen the light at the end of that long long struggle

Next time around I’m going to take it nice slow, real real subtle

I felt my heart smile, I never want to feel that again anytime soon.

Hadn’t felt that in a while, now it’s all dried out like a grape finally pruned

Nothings ever too good to be true, a lesson learned

A blessing in disguise, crashed and burned

I’ll take that blame, I’ll take the fault

I’ll cry your tears, I’ll think your thoughts

I messed this up I know that’s true

But nothing made me happier than the time spent with you

Saved those messages so I can have something to look back on

The laughs, the smile, that connection is all gone

And if I could go back in time lord knows I would

I’d tell you the truth as I been should

I’ve seen the light at the end of that long long struggle

Next time around I’m going to take it nice slow, real real subtle

As for now I’m going to try and smile on my own

With a frown on the inside and a fake grin only to be shown

A fake glow mocking a flowered recently bloomed

Because I felt my heart smile, I don’t want to feel that again anytime soon
