Maybe Just A Smile





Mabye just a smile, then I have to go

A lie or two, a drink

But maybe I'll stay for a while



I think you're neat

I can't seem to think

Of your name



11pm, I have to go home

I have to work early

But why can't I make it to the door?



You push me back to the couch

And hand me another drink

I sigh, I smile and take it and numb myself



I try to get up but all the people around stop me

"Stay for another, what'll it hurt?"

I blink as my mind turns to white sound



A social drinker, I've never been much of a thinker

I can't fight it when alls around me drinks

So I just give in



I lost my live on that summer night

With that blue-eyed girl

So long ago



The smile she had you now have on your face

So sure I couldn't do this

She was right



The smile she had you now have on your face

So sure I couldn't get through this

You're right



I scrunch my face, and I become everyone's party guy

I laugh and I drink, and I laugh and I fall

And I laugh and I laugh

But nothing's real



Trapped in the surreal surroundings of glitz and fake

You lose your grip on reality

As you take another drink...
