But Then She Smiles

She doesn't like me too much, she tells me every time

She doesn't want me around, she doesn't wanna be mine

Anymore, anyhow, seems like I blew it somehow

I guess I leave her alone until again I'm allowed

In her presence again, hanging out with her friends

I still have a long way to go

Sometimes I wanna give up, end it all right now

She puts her love on the line, she keeps her heart on a shelf

She hides away in a world with no one there but herself

Every day, every night, she always closes the blinds

But in hallway she makes sure that there's always a light

Oh how I wish, I could forget about her

It would make my life less complicated

That's an understatement, I'm telling you

But then she smiles

And I know she smiles for me

And I know she will be

My girl again someday (2x)

It breaks my heart when I see her sometimes walking around

All by herself, late at night, while she just stares at the ground

What is she thinking about, what's going on in her head?

Does she remember the day, the day that we first met?

I guess I'll never find out

The clock is ticking the wrong way

Outside the rain is pouring down

The bridge is burning, the damage done

But then she smiles

And I know she smiles for me

And I know she will be

My girl again someday (2x)

One day she'll come back to me

That's the way it's gotta be

We're setting sail for bluer skies

I love her and she loves me

A classic item, now can't you see

If not man, open up your eyes

You can tell it by the way she always smiles...

But then she smiles

And I know she smiles for me

And I know she will be

My girl again someday (5x)
