Fake Smiles

FAKE SMILES

Awaken to an empty bed
He can’t remember what she said
The words - “I’m leaving” springs to mind
He drops back down onto his side

A story unfinished
An untold lie
He cannot see
He can’t see why
That things in life
They never start
Until the day
They’re spent apart

Fake smiles
And false actions
Not the language
Of attraction
Worn dreams
Wasted hours
Sent towards
The sky high towers

He’s somehow looked
Into the bottle drinking
He’s double booked
His life without thinking
Hold him tight
Let loose of you
For just one night,
Let lies become true

Sleep babe sleep,
Hear him in the silence
He’s never let you weep,
Or brought you any violence,
You would be his dream,
But you outmatched that,
Well he’s not what he seems,
He’s ****ing in your old flat.

Fake smiles
And false actions
Not the language
Of attraction
Worn dreams
Wasted hours
Sent towards
The sky high towers

It’s a rule of life
He can’t abide
He needs to sleep
With her by his side
And as he twists
To turn off the light
He sees her there
She says “goodnight”

Fake smiles
And false actions
Not the language
Of attraction
Worn dreams
Wasted hours
Sent towards
The sky high towers

Fake smiles
And false actions
Not the language
Of attraction
Worn dreams
Wasted hours
Sent towards
The sky high towers

Comments please?

Hi! Those lyric are well written, they don't float all over the place and stick with the theme without going off the point, I like the way that there's so much information contained within it and is not always said quite so outright but just suggested! So that the listener would have to think about it at the beginning as to why the event has happened, it unravels slowly! Well done!
