Descendents - Smile Lyrics




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...

What I wouldn't give to see you smile
Once in a while
What I wouldn't give to see you smile
Oh what I wouldn't, wouldn't
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 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
Toil away, and at the end of the day
You can look back on a game well played
Toil away, and at the end of the day
You can look back on a game well played
Toil away, and at the end of the day
You can look back on a game well played
