Smile - Descendents

I can see your pain has left you locked up, beat down

I can see the fear has made you desperate, burnt out

Too much regret and shattered hope

Sent you slipping down that slope

All I can do is lend a hand

Be a friend again

And it’s OK if you want to vent, but…

What I wouldn’t give to see you smile

Once in a while

What I wouldn’t give to see you smile

Once in a while

I can feel the bitterness that drains you, poisons you

And all those grass-is-greener thoughts, I’m telling you, they’re killing you

You’re not a have-not, can’t you see

What you’ve got’s so important to me

Measuring your life versus theirs

You’ll always come out ahead

In all the ways that really matter, so…

I can see your pain has left you locked up, beat down

Desperate, burnt out, I’m telling you, it’s killing you, killing you,

killing you

I can see your pain…

There’s nothing I can say…

Except

Toil away, and at the end of the day

You can look back on a game well played
