Smile
Mr. Love and the Stallions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe, I'll breathe this time and see the night is
over
An'd I'm alive
And I'm feeling, like a gun against my head and I'm
getting colder
Will I make it alright
Every time it's the same old story,
Suicide for you and I
You wait at night to fill my head

I'm looking for a light to shine,I'm looking for a
friend to borrow
And you don't want to count on me

Waiting, afraid that this might leave you down
and broken,
So I don't try
And you see me seal it with a kiss and ask me why
Why I don't mind
Dead line there's nothing for me
Seize the day or freeze the frame till you get back,
And fill my head

I'm looking for a light to shine,
I'm looking for a friend to borrow
Someone to erase the line
And kill that mess that fills my mind
Cause I don't want to wait today
And I don't want to waste tomorrow
And be the one who hated me
When you look back will you smile that way

Don't worry it's over you know I'm going to feel
the rain

Don't worry it's ogver you said I'm going to
find it
you tell me to hold my head up high

every time it's the same old story




suicide for you and I
You live in my head

Line by Line Meaning

Maybe, I'll breathe this time and see the night is over
Perhaps I'll take a deep breath and realize that the darkness has passed


And I'm alive
I'm still breathing


And I'm feeling, like a gun against my head and I'm getting colder
I feel threatened, like someone is pointing a gun at me and I'm getting colder with fear


Will I make it alright
I'm uncertain if I'll be okay in the end


Every time it's the same old story, Suicide for you and I
We always end up feeling like we want to end our lives


You wait at night to fill my head
You wait at night to consume my thoughts


I'm looking for a light to shine,I'm looking for a friend to borrow And you don't want to count on me
I'm searching for hope and a companion, but you don't trust me enough to rely on me


Waiting, afraid that this might leave you down and broken, So I don't try
I'm hesitant to act, scared it might hurt you and leave you shattered


And you see me seal it with a kiss and ask me why Why I don't mind
You witness me hiding my true feelings with a kiss, and wonder why I'm so unaffected


Dead line there's nothing for me Seize the day or freeze the frame till you get back, And fill my head
There's no time left for me, so I must choose to live in the moment or pause time while you're gone and fill my head with memories


Someone to erase the line And kill that mess that fills my mind
I need someone to help me forget my troubles and clear my cluttered thoughts


Cause I don't want to wait today And I don't want to waste tomorrow And be the one who hated me When you look back will you smile that way
I don't want to wait for happiness, and I don't want to waste my future. I don't want to be someone you regret loving, and I hope that when you reminisce, it brings a smile to your face


Don't worry it's over you know I'm going to feel the rain Don't worry it's ogver you said I'm going to find it you tell me to hold my head up high
Don't worry, it's all over now, and I know that I'll inevitably face challenges. You told me to keep my spirits up and remain resilient.


You live in my head
You occupy my thoughts constantly

✨ Lyrics ✨

[Chorus]
Got bridges to burn and places to run
Yeah, this smile is a loaded gun

[Verse 1]
It's my party, my body, my business
It's my town and my crown on my hitlist
It's my world and you're just living in it
Did I, did I, did I finish?
They are my girls, and it's us who's deciding
It's our door, did we say you're invited?
Leave your name and we'll call if we like it
If we, if we, if we like it

[Pre-Chorus]
No more Mrs. Sweet and Miss Nice
No more Mrs. Fuckin' Polite
Time for Mrs. Takin' What's Mine
You don't need him

[Chorus]
Got bridges to burn and places to run
Yeah, this smile is a loaded gun

[Verse 2]
It's my party, my body, my business
If he tries to control me, he's finished
Won't be crying, there's plenty of fishes
And I, and I, and I'm fishin'
You should know that you won't find another
Who will ruin your life then your brother's
Who will take what she's owed when she wants to
Did I, did I, did I stutter?


[Pre-Chorus]
No more Mrs. Sweet and Miss Nice
No more Mrs. Fuckin' Polite
Time for Mrs. Takin' What's Mine
You don't need him
No more Mrs. Lettin' It Slide
No more Mrs. Shut Up and Smile
Time for Mrs. Takin' What's Mine
You don't need him

[Chorus]
I got bridges to burn and places to run
Bang, bang, and your party's done
Got bridges to burn and places to run
Yeah, this smile is a loaded gun

[Bridge]
All these fakers, they come to a stop with me
Tryna step on my rungs
All these boys tryna claim my discography
Never heard of them once
They keep chasin' my crumbs
But I'm leaving them none
Ooh

[Break]
Bridges to burn, places to run
Bridges to burn, places to run
Bridges to burn, places to run
Bridges to burn, places to run


[Pre-Chorus]
No more Mrs. Sweet and Miss Nice
No more Mrs. Fuckin' Polite
Time for Mrs. Takin' What's Mine
You don't need him

[Chorus]
I got bridges to burn and places to run
Bang, bang, and your party's done
Got bridges to burn and places to run
Yeah, this smile is a loaded gun
I got bridges to burn and places to run
Bang, bang, and your party's done
Got bridges to burn and places to run
Yeah, this smile is a loaded gun
