Hear You Smile

HEAR YOU SMILE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Every beginning

Has to have some kind of fateful end

You start off life by winning

Only a good loser has to pretend

You can’t grow if you don’t fall

Pick yourself up and run for it all

You can’t slow down

You can’t speed up

You can’t slow down

I can hear you smile

I can see your fears

I can feel your pain

I can taste your tears

I can eat the wind that you leave behind

I can lose the secrets that you’re dying to find

I can hold your dreams

I can steal your screams

I can hear you smile

Looking like the devil

Hiding that little shit eating grin

When the world stops being level

You find a different road that you can condemn

You won’t tan if you don’t sun

Swagger down a path that hasn’t a pun

You can’t burn out

You can’t ignite

You can’t burn out

I can hear you smile

I can see your fears

I can feel your pain

I can taste your tears

I can eat the wind that you leave behind

I can lose the secrets that you’re dying to find

I can hold your dreams

I can steal your screams

I can hear you smile

There is no explanation

To all of the things you try to be

I need an exclamation

To put behind you and right before me

Every classic ending

Has to have a place where you can start

You play it like you see it

Good intentions will break the heart

You can’t grow if you don’t fall

Pick yourself up and run for it all

You can’t slow down

You can’t speed up

You can’t slow down

You won’t listen

I can hear you smile

I can see your fears

I can feel your pain

I can taste your tears

I can eat the wind that you leave behind

I can lose the secrets that you’re dying to find

I can hold your dreams

I can steal your screams

I can hear you smile

I can see your fears

I can taste your tears

I can hear you smile

I can hold your dreams

I can steal your screams

I can hear you smile
