smile damage from Z-SIDES by FRIENDS OF THE CHAOS

I don’t know what quite what to say
We all need to get away
But I
I couldn’t bear to leave this place

One look and I am gone, butterfly to the flames
One glance and I am out, like June is gay
Playing games don’t make bank, baby
But maybe I just love to play

I don’t know what quite what to say
We all need to get away
But I
I couldn’t bear to leave this place

One look and I am lost in the limelight
Time flies by locked in a smile, like
It’s easy to stay down
And hurts so much to shine bright

I’ve been wondering about these wonderful amounts
And colours and sounds of a life
I’ve been wandering around, running myself down
But never giving up the fight

I’ve been looking away, hiding my face
Trying to escape your gaze
Not weak to smile damage
But damn, maybe today

And I
I don’t know what quite what to say
We all need to get away
But I
I couldn’t bear to leave this place
