I don't wanna see you smile

And baby do you think about the past, do you wonder if every stupid little thing has led us to this
You know you're beautiful
But that ain't half the gold treasure in your soul
What you got cause I want it all
With your fingers in my mouth I fail to see your faults so please don't let me fall, please don't let me fall
