Smile, Smile

from Pleasant Company EP by Laurie Ray

lyrics

you looked me in the eyes
with your blue eyes like oceans
and you told me the biggest lie
"it's not your fault,"
but it was
and we both knew it
your hand reached for mine
to provide some comfort
but your hands,
they've outgrown my own
so you'll smile, smile
even though you don't mean it
there are miles, miles to go
before you are sleeping
and try, try
to keep from slipping
you'll get where you going if you don't look back
your compass pointed north
so you followed it's directions
without question
you pack your bags and you leave
you leave nothing behind
except me
you pack your bags and you leave
you leave nothing behind except me
so i'll smile, smile
even though i don't mean it
there are miles, miles between our towns
now that i feel it
try, try to keep from slipping
you'll get where you going if you don't look back
don't look back
ocean blue eyes
tell the prettiest lies
full of promises
of flowers and better days
but here i am and
you pack your bags and you leave
you leave nothing behind
except me
