I guess I've just been waiting 
for the anvil to drop
I've taken so much pain 
I thought it would never stop
you made me so happy
I've been looking for the joke
ain't nothing ever been this good
that ain't gotten broke
don't let me scare you
with my gloomy style of romance
I'm opening my heart here
and taking a big chance
when I fell asleep the smell of you
made me secure
woke up so used to it
couldn't smell you anymore
if I let you inside like that
how can I endure
let me be the other pieces
of the smile you wore.
