I can see your pain has left you locked up, beat down
I can see the fear has made you desperate, burnt out
Too much regret and shattered hope
Sent you slipping down that slope
All I can do is lend a hand
Be a friend again
And it's okay if you want to vent, but
What I wouldn't give to see you smile
Once in a while
What I wouldn't give to see you smile
Once in a while
I can feel the bitterness that drains you, poisons you
And all those gra**-is-greener thoughts, I'm telling you, they're k**ing you
You're not a have-not, can't you see
What you've got's so important to me
Measuring your life versus theirs
You'll always come out ahead
In all the ways that really matter, so
What I wouldn't give to see you smile
Once in a while
What I wouldn't give to see you smile
Oh what I wouldn't, wouldn't
What I wouldn't give to see you smile
Once in a while
What I wouldn't give to see you smile
Once in a while
I can see your pain has left you locked up, beat down
Desperate, burnt out
I'm telling you, it's k**ing you
k**ing you, k**ing you
I can see your pain
There's nothing I can say except
Toil away and at the end of the day
You can look back on a game well played
Toil away and at the end of the day
You can look back on a game well played
Toil away and at the end of the day
You can look back on a game well played
Toil away and at the end of the day
You can look back on a game well played
