**THE REASON YOU SMILE** **[INTRO]** Yeah... Bobby Yeah Sometimes a man gotta put the pride aside Ain't always about who's right Sometimes it's just about making sure The person you love can smile again **[HOOK]** I wanna be the reason you smile When the whole world got you breaking down I wanna be the reason you smile When you need somebody, I'll be around I know we been through some things for a while Had some hard days, had to work it out I don't wanna be another reason you cry I wanna be the reason you smile **[VERSE 1]** I can tell by the way you look, something ain't right You say you're good, but I know that ain't your type We been going back and forth, pride on both sides Two strong minds, both refusing to apologize I ain't perfect, I got things I gotta own Sometimes I get caught up chasing everything I want Tryna build a future, sometimes I miss the moment You just wanted my attention, I was too busy focused Now I'm sitting here thinking 'bout the nights You needed somebody and I wasn't getting it right Could've listened more, could've put the phone down Could've held you closer when you needed me around You don't need promises, you need actions Somebody who can turn the words into a pattern I don't wanna tell you I'm different, then prove you wrong I wanna show you every day that you belong **[HOOK]** I wanna be the reason you smile When the whole world got you breaking down I wanna be the reason you smile When you need somebody, I'll be around I know we been through some things for a while Had some hard days, had to work it out I don't wanna be another reason you cry I wanna be the reason you smile **[VERSE 2]** Look, I know you got your own life, your own dreams I don't wanna be the man that takes away your peace I wanna add to it, make the bad days easier When you're feeling low, be the voice that brings you nearer We don't gotta agree on every little thing We just gotta know what the other person's heart means Arguments fade, but the words can leave scars That's why I'm choosing conversation over throwing shit hard I been learning that love ain't always grand gestures Sometimes it's checking in, sometimes it's being present Sometimes it's giving space, sometimes it's staying Sometimes it's admitting that your ego got in the way, yeah And I ain't looking for perfection from you I just want something real that we can both grow through If the road gets rough, I'm not running from the ride I wanna stand beside you, not just show up for the highs **[BRIDGE]** When you're tired, lean on me When you're hurting, talk to me When you feel like nobody sees Look over, I'm right here, baby I don't need the spotlight I don't need the whole world knowing If I can put a smile on your face Then I already know I'm winning **[HOOK]** I wanna be the reason you smile When the whole world got you breaking down I wanna be the reason you smile When you need somebody, I'll be around I know we been through some things for a while Had some hard days, had to work it out I don't wanna be another reason you cry I wanna be the reason you smile **[VERSE 3]** Yeah, and maybe that's what growing really means Learning love ain't always like the movies on the screen It's choosing somebody when the feeling gets complicated Building something real when the easy road faded I remember when we laughed over nothing Now I'm tryna bring that feeling back from the dust No games, no fronts, no keeping score If you give me your heart, I'ma treat it like it's yours And if I gotta change, then I'm changing for the better Not because you asked, because I finally know better Life move fast, we don't know what's guaranteed So I'm making sure the people that I love feel the love from me You deserve somebody that can bring you peace Not somebody making you question what you mean So whenever life gets heavy and you're losing your light Come sit beside me, we can get through the night **[FINAL HOOK]** I wanna be the reason you smile When the whole world got you breaking down I wanna be the reason you smile When you need somebody, I'll be around I know we been through some things for a while Had some hard days, had to work it out I don't wanna be another reason you cry I wanna be the reason you smile **[OUTRO]** Yeah... That's all I ever wanted Not to be perfect Just to be somebody that makes your life better When you look my way I want you to smile Still Bobby
