smile

Singer: eli.

i wanna make her think

i wanna make her feel

something that she never has

i wanna give her something real

used to being hurt

i wanna show her something better

i wanna be her everything

i wish that i could let her

but i can't- 'cause i'm too insecure

i need to work on me

every time that i get close

i'm like a market- always flee

is it the commitment? why can't i seem to stick with it?

always getting distant

never feel enrichment

become nonexistent

and every time that i get close

always seem to let it go

never seem to hold my own

but there's something different 'bout you

you got that smile

you got that smile

you got that smile

you got that smile

you got that smile

you got that smile

it makes me wanna stay a while

it makes me wanna stay a while

i wanna be myself

i wanna love again

i'd commit myself

give anything if i could let you in

went to therapy

that didn't help

i didn't question it

past relationship got me torn up

i don't feel too fit

i don't wanna put you through what i went through

no need to repeat offend and that's why i'm so scared of you

i'm just scared that i'll become exactly what i hate

now it's far too late

wish that i could execute

but that's not me

that's not my fate

and every time that i get close

always seem to let it go

never seem to hold my own

but there's something different 'bout you

you got that smile

you got that smile

you got that smile

you got that smile

you got that smile

you got that smile

it makes me wanna stay a while

it makes me wanna stay a while
