Everybody wants to see the
other side of your broken smile.
Everybody wants a hug
To squeeze the answer from your mouth.
The bottle you endure is in your eyes.
Everybody's got a guess
For just how much you plan to sacrifice
And everybody wants a chance
to pull you in for their own device
The whispers you ignore
Are deafening.
And you say you're heart will not break.
And you wait.
Cause something has to give.
After all.
Everybody pa**es by
the little girl with the broken smile.
She says I'm sorry as she sighs
I'll try and be a little quieter.
The damage that was done
Is in your glance
And you say you're heart will not break.
And you wait.
Cause something has to give.
After all.
You're tearing down
The answers you can face
You paint your face,
But a smile you can't fake.
Everybody wants to see
Everybody wants a hug
Everybody's got a guess
Everybody wants a chance
Everybody pa**es by
The little girl with the broken smile.
And you say you're heart will not break.
And you wait.
Cause something has to give.
Ahhh-oo. You say you're heart will not break.
And you wait.
Cause something has to give.
After all.
Everybody pa**es by
The little girl with the broken smile.
