"Pocket Smile"

I think my heart just broke
Ooooh, so slightly
When I heard those words you said
All the chains you've taken on
Are likely
Why inside you feel so dead

When you could be free

Oh, when you smile you make the night
Shine brightly
Like the stars above your head
Shame to think you might spend your
Life fighting
To keep a frown instead

When you could be free
From all the negativity
I know you've got it inside
So why do you cling so dearly
When you've got such beauty

There's a part of me inside
That wants to
Look you in the eyes
To tell you what I see
And maybe see if it's something
You recognize

But I'm afraid just like
I've always been
No, I can't spit out the truth
Maybe this new transition
Could spark the conditions
To somehow tell you

That you could be free
From all the negativity
I know you've got it inside
So why do you cling so dearly
To what you don't need, clearly
When you've got such beauty

I think my heart just broke
Oooh, so slightly
When I heard the words you said

When you've got such beauty
