i can't smile,
with my teeth sown shut.
and i can't smile,
when my eyes won't blink.
baby, i can't smile,
when my lungs won't breathe.
because my words sit idly,
without passion or truth;
my sights can't see,
what's right in front of me;
and my breath becomes slow,
sitting face to face with you.
oh,
i can't smile,
knowing she's in love with you.
