Something About Your Smile Could Kill Me

Why do you look at me like that when you don't even know me?
How can you see through my disguise to the soul inside me?

Why when I look back at you does a lifetime behold me?
Memories that I never knew remembered in my dreams

Why when I look in your eyes does my life disown me?
Why when I look at your face does my mind not control me?

Something about your smile enslaves me
Something about your smile could kill me

Why when I think about you does my mind feel free?
Why when I dream of you does my life feel complete?
