Smile - Annisokay, Marcus Bridge

Why oh why

You cannot take it with you when you die

Sometimes the things you want the most

Won’t happen until the book is closed

I’m losing all I have but sadly

Not what I’ve ever wanted

Tonight everything is over

If I told you reasons why

You would leave so I chose to lie

Things have changed

I try my best to smile

Why oh why

I’m afraid of getting colder

I am homeless in my home

Miles away from where I was

Sometimes the things you want the most

Won’t happen until the book is closed

I’m afraid of getting colder

Cause tonight everything is over

Clearly things have changed

Cause they always do

How can I be sure

I try my best to smile

Just for a little while
