Smile
Lea Michele; Cory Monteith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you were kissing that girl next door,
What ya do that for (what ya do that for?)
When you first left me I didn't know what to say
I never been on my own that way, just sat by myself all day
I was so lost back then
But with a little help from my friends
Now you're calling me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
And it's only because you're feeling alone
At first when I see you cry,
Yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes my smile
At worst I feel bad for a while,
But then I just smile I go ahead and smile
Whenever you see me you say that you want me back
And I tell you it don't mean jack,
No it don't mean jack (no it don't mean jack)
I couldn't stop laughing, no I just couldn't help myself
See you messed up my mental health I was quite unwell
I was so lost back then
But with a little help from my friends
I found a light in the tunnel at the end
And now you're calling me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
And it's only because you're feeling alone
At first when I see you cry,
Yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes my smile
At worst I feel bad for a while,
But then I just smile I go ahead and smile
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
At first when I see you cry,
Yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes my smile
At worst I feel bad for a while,
But then I just smile I go ahead and smile
At first when I see you cry,
Yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes my smile
At worst I feel bad for a while,
But then I just smile I go ahead and smile (go ahead and smile)
