[Verse 1] I lost my smile a long time ago It didn’t leave loud It just faded slow Like bleach in a black shirt Like rain on old concrete I kept my face straight So nobody could read me I don’t blame my past I was young, I was blind Now I can look back Without venom in my mind I’ve grown up a lot I know that’s true I stopped dragging the dead weight That used to drag me too [Pre-Chorus] I tried to fit Tried to fold in clean But every room felt cold And every hand felt mean I still want good I still want real I’m tired of the scars But I kept the feel [Chorus] I lost my smile, yeah But I’m still here (still here) I lost my smile, yeah I’m still here, I’m still here People suck, sure But not everybody Somewhere out there There’s somebody for me [Verse 2] I’ve met the toxic ones With the sharp little grins The ones who take and take Then call it “being friends” They talk in poison Then blame the wound I learned to leave that table Before the knife came through But I won’t say “everybody” I know better than that There’s gold in the wreckage There’s light in the crack There are kind hands There are eyes that stay There’s somebody out there Who won’t look away [Pre-Chorus] I tried to fit Tried to fold in clean But every room felt cold And every hand felt mean I still want good I still want real I’m tired of the scars But I kept the feel [Chorus] I lost my smile, yeah But I’m still here (still here) I lost my smile, yeah I’m still here, I’m still here People suck, sure But not everybody Somewhere out there There’s somebody for me [Bridge] I don’t need saving I just need true A face I can breathe with A place to be new I’ve been alone But I’m not gone I buried that pain Now I carry on [Breakdown] Shit people rot Good souls bloom I held my ground I made room I lost my smile Not my heart Not my hope Not my start [Final Chorus] I lost my smile, yeah But I’m still here (still here) I lost my smile, yeah I’m still here, I’m still here People suck, sure But not everybody Somewhere out there There’s somebody for me I lost my smile, yeah But I’m still here (still here) Somewhere out there There’s somebody for me
