Smile
Standing here by your side,
Hands in pockets,
As I silently cry,
Try not to breath
Try not to scream
Everyone’s dressed in black and white,
And all of these feelings are so hard fight,
Heads bowed down in silence and prayer
And I stand alone silent and scared
Trying not to breath
Trying not scream
Trying to be strong without you
I can’t be strong
And I’m scared and alone
I want to go home
To the comfort of your eyes
To your sweet lullabies
And I’m scared and alone
Why wont you come back home
I miss your caring eyes
And your sweet lullabies
I stand here and pray
That I might wake
From this horrible day
That I might see you once more
Instead of alone and crying on the floor
And I’m scared and alone
I want to go home
To the comfort of your eyes
To your sweet lullabies
And I’m scared and alone
Why wont you come back home
I miss your caring eyes
As I lay by your side
And I fall asleep to your sweet lullabies
