Chris Smither - Winsome Smile lyrics

Stop thinking now Quit second-guessing all your failed relations With your would've, could've, should've, maybe might-have-been I'll show you how Send your feelings out for lubrication Lose these blues and screw your head on tight again She cut you bad, your heart is just a scar But if you could just get mad, you'd be better off by far What you want is taken What you need is better circulation Work that heavy heart and get it light again. Listen to me now You suffer from a sadness, apprehension That if she could read your mind she'd see just how it ought to be But she's read it all by now And your style don't get a grip on her attention She ain't in your state of mind and she don't want to be You think if she'd just talk, you could explain it all She'd be polite, but all night she's been hoping you won't call She'll it's all her fault, she'll always be your friend Plus loads of sh** too dumb to mention I've been that road and it's paved with good intentions. Well it's hard to believe But I'm telling you your heart would soon recover But you don't want it to, you love this aching agony 'Cause it's noble, but it's true You won't forsake this pain for other lovers Happiness would fill your mind with misery Time will wound all heels, and it ain't pretty With any luck at all, she'll find some dope that you can pity Your loss is measured in illusions And your gain is all in bittersweet intelligence And your winsome smile will lose some of its innocence Your winsome smile Your winsome smile will lose some of its innocence.
