Demo 2010, First Take

lyrics

HE ONLY LOVES ME WHEN I'M SMILING

He'll turn to me and demand why are you frowning?
Isn't the sadness of the world enough, I respond
If laughter doesn't jeer at my teeth, if I can't react enthusiastically
How quick can I become displeasing?

He needs me to brighten up his day and never speak of damaged times
The past is forgotten and today is tomorrows sigh
My feelings are an attack against his factual mind

He only loves me when I'm smiling
He'll turn away from my sad eyes
When the tears start, he'll pass me the tissues
He'll snap at me for my temper and forbids me to speak my truth
He'll tell me to remember his next to me but his not by my side
Because he only loves me when I'm smiling

He'll deny his own misbehaviour if I'm pointing it out
My needs stay undelivered and still, silence is no reward
He only loves me when I'm smiling
but my mind's shaped like a frowning

He only wants to make me happy (repeat)
but my mind's shaped like a frown
He only loves me when I'm smiling
