Broken Smile

Everybody wants to see the
Other side of your broken smile
Everybody wants a hug
To squeeze the answer from your mouth

The bottle you endure is in your eyes
Everybody's got a guess
For just how much you plan to sacrifice
And everybody wants a chance
To pull you in for their own device

The whispers you ignore
Are deafening

And you say you're heart will not break
And you wait
Cause something has to give
After all

Everybody passes by
The little girl with the broken smile
She says I'm sorry as she sighs
I'll try and be a little quieter

The damage that was done
Is in your glance

And you say you're heart will not break
And you wait
Cause something has to give
After all

You're tearing down
The answers you can face
You paint your face
But a smile you can't fake

Everybody wants to see
Everybody wants a hug
Everybody's got a guess
Everybody wants a chance
Everybody passes by
The little girl with the broken smile

And you say you're heart will not break
And you wait
Cause something has to give
Ahhh-oo. You say you're heart will not break
And you wait
Cause something has to give
After all

Everybody passes by
The little girl with the broken smile
