Smile

You could take away my pride

you can take away my pretty face

you can take away things I no longer have

but I'll remain the same.

 

You can try and break me

you can take away my tears

but that's okay cause I'll be free

I'll live without any fears.

 

You took away my pride

you took away my pretty face

You took all the things I once had

you even made me change.

 

You broke right through me

you made me cry thousands of tears

for awhile I was no longer free

I lived my life in fear.

 

You took everything I wanted

you even took my style

but one things you'll never keep

is my one and only smile.
