Mannie's Smile

Mannie's Smile - Her's

I await your return at the window

And reach out for your paw

We were tried and true from the get-go

But now we've been separated too long

Still my stomach deflates on the floor

Just pouring with regret

I hold onto my only memento

A shred of hair that you left on my bed

You should've known that

It was all for love we had to fall apart

I'll never forget

All the days we had and still forgive myself

One day you'll let go

And maybe you'll think of me once in a while

You should have known that

It was me who made you pull a broken smile

And the cats don't know which way to turn

Their captain has moved on

Has he taken a nap in the dirt

I bet they buried him under the lawn

But I pray you've forgotten the lot

On a lap of luxury

'Cause every hour I surface the thought

Of you just trying to get back to me

You should've known that

It was all for love we had to fall apart

I'll never forget

All the days we had and still forgive myself

One day you'll let go

And maybe you'll think of me once in a while

You should have known that

It was me who made you pull a broken smile

Do-do-do-do do-do do

La-la-la la la

Do-do-do-do do do

Do-do-do-do

There were nights when I would wake up

And you'd stare into my eyes

Coming close to have your head stroked

And I'd almost hear your sigh

Now and then I still awaken

And always to my surprise

Where you once were is now vacant

And it tears me deep inside

You should've known that

It was all for love we had to fall apart

I'll never forget

All the days we had and still forgive myself

One day you'll let go

And maybe you'll think of me once in a while

You should have known that

It was me who made you pull a broken smile

It was me who made you pull a broken smile

It was me who made you pull a broken smile

It was me who made you pull a broken smile

It was me who made you pull a broken smile
