[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 1]
Where is the time goin' again?
I lost a home, I lost a friend
Love's an ocean whether you sink or swim
I gave you my best, was it enough?
Maybe the past is holdin' me up
I keep the memories with me, replay what was
[Pre-Chorus]
So long, baby, did you know you saved me?
Silver line faded, but you know I'll keep waiting
[Chorus]
'Cause when I think of us, I always seem to smile
'Cause I was happy for a while, I was happy for a while, yeah
And sometimes, love will leave you even when it's right
But I was happy for a while, and I don't know how I'll smile again
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Remember your face like it was here
I'm getting used to all of the tears
And I'm getting used to forever without you here
And I don't know how I'll smile again
Ask if I'm good, I gotta pretend
I'm holdin' on to three words I should've said
[Pre-Chorus]
So long, baby, did you know you saved me?
Silver line faded, but you know I'll keep waiting
[Chorus]
'Cause when I think of us, I always seem to smile
'Cause I was happy for a while, I was happy for a while, yeah
And sometimes, love will leave you even when it's right
But I was happy for a while, and I don't know how I'll smile again
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
'Cause I was happy for a while
And I don't know how I'll smile again

I really wanted a slower song to be the last song and we didn’t have it yet. Finally I got this hook idea sent from my friend Joe Kirkland—he wrote a bunch of Dua Lipa songs, Nick Jonas, Dixie D'Amelio. He’s a great writer, and he had this idea for ‘smile again,’ but it wasn’t called ‘smile again.’...
