I’ll Smile
Lyrics by Emily Stark

It’s like I’ve searched my face
Only to find each line in the wrong place
Apparently the mirror has cracked
And now it seems it’s, now it seems it’s, now it seems it’s stabbing back

It’s a long time past
But the reflection stays the same
And try as I might I just can’t get the scenery to change

So come draw the curtains tight
It’s time I told my secret, time I told my secret
You smiled, you smiled, you smiled…

Every time you smiled
I used to think I’d be all right
But now my next few tomorrows
They don’t seem so, they don’t seem so, they don’t seem so bright

Maybe later, maybe later
We’ll piece it all together
Maybe later, maybe later
We’ll figure this out
But for now every step, every sip, every slant I take the longer I feel from heaven

So come draw the curtains tight
It’s time I told my secret, time I told my secret
I’ll smile, I’ll smile, I’ll smile…

Trust me when I say that it doesn’t mean a thing
Now that happiness has lost its sting
And now the sun has set
Casting shadows where it once was, shadows where it once was light
And I’ll smile, I’ll smile, I’ll smile…
Not even my best smile can make it all right
