Marcus Bridge - Smile lyrics

Why oh why You cannot take it with you when you die Sometimes the things you want the most Won't happen until the book is closed I'm losing all I have but sadly Not what I've ever wanted Tonight everything is over If I told you reasons why You would leave so I chose to lie Things have changed Why oh why I try my best to smile Why oh why Why oh why yeah I'm afraid of getting colder I am homeless in my home Miles away from where I was Sometimes the things you want the most Won't happen until the book is closed I'm afraid of getting colder Cause tonight everything is over If I told you reasons why You would leave so I chose to lie Clearly things have changed Cause they always do How can I be sure I try my best to smile Just for a little while If I told you reasons why You would leave so I chose to lie Why oh why Why oh why You cannot take it with you when you die
