Curtains sealed up tight No morning in this room Your shadow on the wall Looks safer than the truth Nightstand full of bottles Little white lies in rows Pills like tiny lifeboats When the old pain starts to glow And you keep your eyes half-closed Like the dark might let you stay But the past comes back in flashes When the room goes blank that way White wine smile, white wine smile You wear it like a guard White wine smile, white wine smile To quiet what is hard Hold me still, hold me still When the memories break through White wine smile, white wine smile Now you see the truth There’s a boy under the sheets Still counting every blow Still flinching at a door slam That nobody else would know You learned to numb the thunder To keep your pulse from racing But the silence in your mouth now Got the hurt you’ve been replacing And you keep your eyes half-closed Like the dark might let you stay But the past comes back in flashes When the room goes blank that way White wine smile, white wine smile You wear it like a guard White wine smile, white wine smile To quiet what is hard Hold me still, hold me still When the memories break through White wine smile, white wine smile Now you see the truth If your hands start shaking I’ll stay right by the bed If the walls come moving closer I’ll be the voice in your head You don’t have to drown it You don’t have to fake that grin Let the hurt come slowly Let somebody reach in White wine smile, white wine smile You don’t have to wear it hard Messed up smile, messed up smile I know it leaves a scar Hold me still, hold me still You were never born to lose Hopeful smile, hopeful smile Now you see the truth
