'Don't Smile, Don't Cry'
"Don't cry," they said, "It was momentary,"
It's over but not one person can foresee,
Don't smile because it happened, you just lost me,
Cry because it's over, we were never meant to be.
The alarm rings too loud,
I feel like sleeping in to avoid the crowd,
I curse your fame and your name I could shout,
Just a fleeting thought to keep myself out.
Telling lies, committing fraud,
Selling love to a fool desperately bought,
Thanking your wife, thanking the Lord,
Reminiscing the day you pleaded when you get caught.
After all, here I am rotting in bed,
My friends are out, taking shots with their heads,
I wish to be run over, I wish to be dead,
But they're making sure I got flowers and am fed.
I see now you're uploading her pictures like never before,
I bet you're picturing me instead, I can feel it in my core,
My favourite place, I can recognise the door,
I want you to miss me, begging me on the floor.
Pour my feelings like I'm pouring the wine,
My friends said they know men of your kind,
Maybe I was too careless, a bit too blind,
I chose to love you even when I see the red signs.
Think about me whenever you kiss her,
All of the songs I showed you when you weren't even sober,
Seems like you can't get rid of me, you play them all over,
3 a.m. when you think of me and call my number.
I'm happy because it's over, I'm smiling to show,
Cry again, baby, as though you can never let me go,
Regret flows like a river forming your shadow,
You can fake everything but you know I'll always know.
