Smiles

[Verse 1]

It's like the more I try the less I feel

Desperate need of something

Why lately I ain't been the same

And why I try so hard to hide this pain

[Verse 2]

I search but I can't ever find

Can't seem to leave my past behind

Cause all the ones I hoped would stay

Are all the ones that fade away

[Verse 3]

Truth is I think about you often

I miss your voice I miss your smell that I used to get lost in

I know you know I had this thing for you

I never lost it

[Verse 4]

I think I just lost myself in the midst of the nonsense

Nine times out of ten I close my eyes and dream about you

Don't know what it was but you just had this thing about you

Lately we've been distant see I just can't be without you

[Verse 5]

And my soul got so attached to yours

I can't be me without you

But we hate ourselves because we run from the people we love

And we all hold on to the past cause we miss what it was

[Verse 6]

Don't wanna feel so we try numbing the pain with these drugs

Living in hell cause we lost faith in the place up above

And my anxiety is breaking me it kills me

I'm living in a world so fake I lost touch of the real me

[Verse 7]

Had to take a look back just to ask me if I'm still me

And would I still stand for this if they wanted to kill me

I can't take it no more I just can't take it no more

I can't smile like I'm okay I just can't fake it no more

[Verse 8]

I can't act like I've been happy and complacent no more

Cause every time I try to change it it's the same as before

My karma's coming my karma's coming it's weighing in

I'm drinking till all my feelings just fade away again

[Verse 9]

And mama she always told me this ain't a way to live

But when you feel what I'm feeling that's just the way it is

I'm trying not to break down but I just can't hide this pain

Saw myself in the mirror and I'm just not the same

[Verse 10]

But who's to blame I guess we all change

We hurt the ones we love because of our pain

It's like the more I try the less I feel

In desperate need of something real

[Verse 11]

Why lately I ain't been the same

And why I try so hard to hide this pain

I search but I can't ever find

Can't seem to leave my past behind

[Verse 12]

Cause all the ones I hoped would stay

Are all the ones that fade away

Are all the ones that fade away

Are all the ones that fade away

[Outro]

Are all the ones that fade away

Are all the ones that fade away

Are all the ones that fade away
