The Apers - ...But Then She Smiles Lyrics

She doesn't like me too much, she tells me every time
She doesn't want me around, she doesn't wanna be mine
Anymore, anyhow, seems like I blew it somehow
I guess I leave her alone until again I'm allowed

In her presence again, hanging out with her friends
I still have a long way to go
Sometimes I wanna give up, end it all right now

She puts her love on the line, she keeps her heart on a shelf
She hides away in a world with no one there but herself
Every day, every night, she always closes the blinds
But in hallway she makes sure that there's always a light

Oh how I wish, I could forget about her
It would make my life less complicated
That's an understatement, I'm telling you

But then she smiles
And I know she smiles for me
And I know she will be
My girl again someday [x2]

It breaks my heart when I see her sometimes walking around
All by herself, late at night, while she just stares at the ground
What is she thinking about, what's going on in her head?
Does she remember the day, the day that we first met?

I guess I'll never find out
The clock is ticking the wrong way
Outside the rain is pouring down
The bridge is burning, the damage done

But then she smiles
And I know she smiles for me
And I know she will be
My girl again someday [x2]

One day she'll come back to me
That's the way it's gotta be
We're setting sail for bluer skies
I love her and she loves me
A classic item, now can't you see
If not man, open up your eyes
You can tell it by the way she always smiles...

But then she smiles
And I know she smiles for me
And I know she will be
My girl again someday [x5]
