I have a thing for catchy pop tunes and for trip hop. I also love sappy songs that you can throw on as a soundtrack to any sad moment in time. Well this song hits all of those points. It may not be the smartest song out there, but it is a very solid pop tune. It was my top song of 2008, and I think it deserves to be thought of as one of the best songs.
Here are the lyrics from VH1
Smile, you'll steal away my soul
Smile, I'll hide away and cry
My mind's made up
I will shudder to see your eyes
Smile, no doubt I'll keep my pride
But it may be hard to find
There's nothing left, handed down your legacy
But more regret painted on with empathy
Smile, don't complicate my time
Smile, don't ask me if I'm fine
My world blown down
There is nothing that words can say
Smile, no doubt I'll keep my pride
But it may be hard to find
There's nothing left, handed down your legacy
But more regret, painted on with empathy
There's nothing left, there's nothing left
Smile, you'll steal away my soul
Smile, I'll hide away and cry
There's nothing left handed down your legacy
Smile, no doubt I'll keep my pride
But it may be hard to find, if only you had tried
Gonna leave it far behind
It may be hard to find, if only you had tried
Gonna leave it far behind
