[Verse 1]
Young man, you backed me up into the corner
I'm not older
Can't stand the faces that lie on my shoulder
Make me shudder
All my life, they said, "I've got news for you"
Man, I bet you do
Said, best put that smile on or else I've got news for you
Oh, how cruel
[Pre-Chorus]
For now, I'll give that smile
Oh, for just a little while
[Chorus]
They like to say, they wanna change
The more that I speak, they stay the same
Watch your tongue, they'll yank those chains
For now, I'll give that smile
Oh, for just a little while
[Verse 2]
Shaved 10 years off my life, but I ain't feeling bad
Tried to tie me up just like they did my dad
There's a decision to be made if you wanna feel alright
Some of us born to create, some others born to fight
[Verse 3]
Only say my name if you wanna be my friend
Bloody caves I've met, and they say the same
Shit, my momma left, those voices made her mad
And they never went, but now she's coming back
[Pre-Chorus]
For now, I'll give that smile
Oh, for just a little while
[Bridge]
Dancing in a foreign plain
Where I don't save face
Stay close by your phone
I'll call you when I'm coming home
Forty-five to fifty-one
Don't let them take your fun
Don't let them take your fun
Don't let them take your fun
[Chorus]
They like to say they wanna change
The more that I speak, they stay the same
Watch your tongue, they'll yank those chains
For now, I'll give that smile
Oh, for just a little while
[Outro]
For now, I'll give that smile
Oh, for just a little while
For now, I'll give that smile
Oh, for just a little while
For now, I'll give that smile
Oh, for just a little while
