Lyrics Smile - Durand Jones & The Indications

Smile

Ask me how I’m doin'
I smile and say «Just fine»
And there’s no need to ask me, brotha
What I’ve been doin' to pass the time
I lay awake at night, still fallin' under your spell (Let her go)
What was a home is again my lonely prison cell (She don’t know)
Try to get by just for a while
To hide my pride, paint on my smile
Too late to say I’m sorry
With a guilt that I can’t stand
Upon your chest your arms are folded
With a bottle in your hand
The devil makes his mark, the needle takes its toll (Let her go)
I told you that I’d forgive, but that won’t save your soul (She don’t know)
Try to get by just for a while
To hide my pride, paint on my smile
Yeah, try to get by just for a while
To hide my pride, paint on my smile
All these people think I’m crazy
I smile and say I’m fine
I saw the cruelness of addiction
I saw you fade away with time
Try to get by just for a while
To hide my pride, paint on smile
Try to get by just for a while
To hide my tears, paint on my smile
Try to get by just for a while, yeah
(Can't you see yeah)
(No, oh…)
