Smile When You're Ready 歌詞

Little girl in Mary Janes You walked a fine line Party braids and pinafores Thank you for the very nice time They didn't ask what you were thinking They didn't want to know All you wanted was to be loved So you put on a show But you can smile when you're ready Not a moment before A refugee awakes at night To the sound of distant wars Smile when you're ready No matter how long it takes Your wounded heart will find Its own saving grace Toy guns and bloody noses Don't walk away from a fight "Faggot" jeers at the sign of tears Screw the lid on tight So you never let 'em see you You never laugh too loud You're the man in the iron mask You're a big boy now But you can smile when you're ready Not a moment before A refugee awakes at night To the sound of distant wars Smile when you're ready No matter how long it takes Your wounded heart will find Its own saving grace Rain on the river Patches of blue Just when a smile seems a million miles away It'll sneak up on you Sometimes the people who hurt you Don't leave you alone Maybe they ask forgiveness Maybe they say please come home Maybe they're just too ashamed to admit The things you say are true You can love 'em you can let 'em go You know it's up to you But you can smile when you're ready Not a moment before A refugee awakes at night To the sound of distant wars Smile when you're ready No matter how long it takes Your wounded heart will find Its own saving grace
