Smile

Why does the sun shine black

Sometimes you can't find your smile

Where does it hide

What could you do to bring it back

Does it matter how hard you try

Or is it the trying that keeps them at bay

Just short of reach

And you stretch to grasp

People will help you search

But it feels like they just get in the way

And though you know

They're helping in their way

You can't let them

Some things you need to find out

All by yourself

And you don't mean to be ungrateful

Or mean to be mean

It's just too hard

To pretend to smile

For someone else

'Cos fake smiles

Make you realise how much

You're missing the genuine

And even when pretending

The eyes display the lie

The heart sees the untruth

So it gets harder and harder

To get to the bottom

Of what originally began

All the thoughts in your head

So you try even harder

And fake more smiles

Which make you see

The lies in your eyes

Thankyou for trying

To help me to find

What I don't know I've lost

But I need to go it alone

Sorry if I've hurt you

Not saying what I can't

Just bare with me

I'm searching for my smile
