lyrics

Smile and a Lie

Have a friend in this position / Love has left him on a shelf

Just and empty whiskey bottle/ and some lies he tells himself

And I catch my self say’n/ things ‘ll work out in the end

Though I’m sure that there’s a difference in what we know and we pretend

There’s this girl who bags his groceries/ He just wants to try her on/ They get back to her apartment / she passes out with her boots on

And I catch my self say’n/ love will find him in the end

Though I’m sure that there’s a difference in what we know and we pretend

And he caries her to bed now/ tells himself she’s still the one

Sobers up and makes some coffee/ thought he knows that he should run

We get high/ we get high/ on the things we keep in side

we get by / we get by / on a smile and a lie

And I catch my self say’n things ‘ll work out in the endthough I’m sure that there’s a difference in what we know and we pretend
