Smile for me Smile Don’t smile for strangers I know the way you tie your shoes The songs you hum when skies turn blue The coffee shop, the corner seat The tired rhythm of your feet (Smile~) I watch the world brush past your skin Too loud, too cold, too sharp, too thin They do not see the fragile light I do I keep you safe at night But then they laugh and stand too near Pretend to care, pretend sincere They reach for what was never theirs HA! Don’t smile for strangers, save it all for me I’ll cut the thorns away so you can finally breathe They call me crazy, but they’ve never loved this deep Lock the doors softly, now you’re safe with me Don’t cry for someone who won’t stay I’ll burn the whole world just to keep the dark away You only need one heart, one home, one melody So hush now, darling, sing your love for me Smile for me Smile Smile for me Your phone was ringing late last night I saw the name, I knew the type They do not deserve to hear your voice (Smile~) I left a note, I made it clear Some people disappear from here It’s not my fault they crossed the line What’s yours is mine And you are mine You looked afraid, I held you close Like winter clinging to a rose If fear is proof you finally see Then maybe now you’ll stay with me Don’t smile for strangers, save it all for me I’ll cut the thorns away so you can finally breathe They call me crazy, but they’ve never loved this deep Lock the doors softly, now you’re safe with me Don’t cry for someone who won’t stay I’ll burn the whole world just to keep the dark away You only need one heart, one home, one melody So hush now, darling, sing your love for me If you run, I’ll follow If you hide, I’ll wait If you whisper “leave me” I will hear “too late” If your tears keep falling I’ll become the rain If your fear keeps calling I will wear the blame Love is not gentle Love is not kind Love is the hand That won’t leave you behind Heh So smile for no one, keep it all for me I broke the world outside so now there’s only peace They call me monster, let them, what do they know of need? I built this cage with love, and handed you the key Don’t scream, my darling, no one comes this way The stars are watching quietly, they’ll never look away You only need one heart, one name, one destiny And every beat inside you now belongs to me Sleep now Sweetly Safe inside my symmetry No more shadows No more leaving Only you And only me Smile for me Smile Don’t smile for strangers Smile for me
