Descendents — Smile

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… (Chorus) 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
