This Is Not About a Car Crash

i caught a confused look that came across your face when i said that i was doing okay It's like you didn't understand how i could smile again after everything that happened The flashing lights, the shattered glass I Said "if i'm headed for heaven it's not very fast" And you said "You should torn up You should worn out you should be crying i think... at least a little bit It's just not natural To smile in the face defeat" and i said... (i said) it's seems natural to me I turn my head to side and break a little smile at thought that you are saying- "I should give up the front, remove this disguise and for once open my eyes" The flashing lights, the shattered glass I Said "i'm headed to hell with my foot on the gas" And you said "You should torn up You should worn out you should be crying i think... at least a little bit It's just not natural To smile in the face defeat" and i said... (i said) it's seems natural to me I don't think you understand What it's like to be dead inside It's hard to cry-- when the fountain has been dried up for years The fountain has been dried up for years the fountain has been dried up for years So don't tell me i should torn up i should worn out i don't think that i should be crying at all. It just seems natural to me To smile in the face of defeat I smile in the face of defeat a smile to every face that i meet a smile is just what you see
