v1
smile for me tonight
show me that you care
even if you fake it
go ahead and hate it
just smile through gritted teeth
shine your light on me
even if it's dimming
this is only the start
pc
it's not because i'm lonely
you're one of few that know me
and knowing that should be enough
cause i want you so badly,
if only you would have me
then maybe things wouldnt suck this much
v2
go on, look at you
and everything you are
maybe it's not perfect,
but maybe you deserve it
come here and look at me
accept all that i am
you have no need to worry
about breaking my heart
pc
see i could pen no chorus
that holds the answer for us,
but i will not lay in defeat
so i offer up these verses
for better or for worse
and pray you'll feel my melody
