Lyrics Emery – The Smile, The Face
Text:
I was never going to fall
(I was never going to fall)
But the smile and face have sealed my fate
(The smile, the face)
(I was an addict of it all)
I was blind for another taste
I have nothing left to give,
the veins are dry, you have drained me dry
The world has turned black and cold
And I can’t catch my breath
You rehearsed your lines with rhythmic details
They match the pounding in my chest
The summer came and you left me with your words
The clever sounds from your mouth
That can make me feel so worthless
And you say that I am not enough
But though my heart is breaking open
Know that I will not be broken
The person you claimed to be,
is not who haunts me now
The careless lies, behind those brown eyes
That you swore were true more times than I can count
The summer came and you left me with your words
The clever sounds from your mouth
That can make me feel so worthless
And you say that I am not enough
But though my heart is breaking open
Know that I will not be broken
I know these words are weak and young
But while I drown in these mistakes
Your ego swells, but I can tell
You know that you’re a fake.
(You cried in front of your friends)
Just to save some face
(You didn’t want it to end)
In just a week I’m replaced
(You wouldn’t listen, listen to me)
But can you hear me now
(You’re just a sickness and the cancer)
the cancer is your filthy mouth
