Smile Baby Please

Teach me to lock my heart away
Teach me to cope with pain
Please, I want to stop believing in me
I want to stop holding so tight.

Feelings mean nothing
I shouldn't even have them
But I do, and you're hurting me
And I can't control myself.

I just want my heart to stop beating
Maybe to shatter so much until it becomes too small
Then the pain might stop
And I'll stop running after you.

I can't lie to you
So I'm telling you now
I was never good for you, so leave me, please.

I don't want to lose you as a friend,
Losing you as a lover is bad enough
I want to be able to make sure you smile
And I want to know that I have your trust.

I'll always love you
And I swear I'll never stop
But that doesn't mean we can't be friends
Just like you wanted.

We're being unhealthy
You need to see someone who won't make you doubt
I can promise you I'm loyal, but what good is a promise
If you aren't here to see it through?

Maybe things will be different when you see me,
But I can't beg you to stay
I never wanted this to happen
Because your misery is slowly killing me.

Just say the word
And I'll stop chasing
Because you've had enough
And this isn't me.

I just want to see you smile, if not for me
Then for someone who deserves you.
We can be friends and the pain will fade someday
And we can go back to the way we were.
