Emery - The Smile, the Face lyrics

rate me

I was never going to fall

But the smile, the face has sealed my fate

So sweet, an addict of it all

I was blind for another taste

The world has turned black and cold

And I can't catch my breath

You rehearsed your lines with rhythmic details

They match the pounding in my chest

Then summer came and you left me with your words

The clever sounds from your mouth

They can make me feel so worthless

And you say that I am not enough

And though my heart is breaking open

Know that I will not be broken

The person you claimed to be is not who haunts me now

The careless lies behind those brown eyes

That you swore were true more times than I can count

Then summer came and you left me with your words

The clever sounds from your mouth

They can make me feel so worthless

And you say that I am not enough

And though my heart is breaking open

Know that I will not be broken

I know these words are weak and young

But spoken as I come undone

And while I drown in these mistakes

Your ego swells but I can tell

You know that you're a fake

(You cried in front of your friends)

Just to save some face

(You didn't want it to end)

In just a week I'm replaced

(You wanted me so listen, listen to me)

But can you hear me now

(You're just a sickness and a cancer)

The cancer is your filthy mouth
