lyrics

I just wanted to say sorry,
for these honest crimes.

And I just wanted to explain,
that I've tried, so many times.

Somewhere down the road I lost my only source of fire,
so I started to borrow more and more from you.

When you became so cold I told you all the lies,
I started to feel more and more blue.

So I put on my favourite smile, and carry through.

I just wanted to say sorry,
for these honest crimes.

I just wanted to explain,
that I'm dying for you.

Remember back when we were young and the world was at our feet?
We didn't have to try to make it new.

Time goes by and that I knew, I suppose it's quite a feat,
that even back then I knew that I'd change for you.

So put on your favourite smile, I'll carry you.
I'l put on my facourite smile, and carry you.
So out on your favourite smile, and push on through
I put on my favourite smile, and push on through.

So I put on my favourite smile and carry you, you know I got you.
So put on your favourite smile and push on through, I got you I got you.
I put on my favourite smile and carry you, carry you.
You know I put on my favourite smile, and go.

I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go for you.
I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go for you.
I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go for you.
I will go, I will go, I will go, I will go for you.

These are honest crimes I swear.
Put on your favourite smile and...
These are honest crimes I....

I'm reeling, and I'm sorry.
For the things that I have to see.

All the blood, and the violence.
Tears shed between human beings.

If you need a hand, then I'm sorry.
I'm not sure there's much I can do.

"Don't worry, about a thing"
How I wish those words were still true.

So if you need hope, come get some.
I got piles of it high for miles.
So if you need love, come show me.
I've got the need and you've got the smile.

So don't worry, about a thing.
'Cause every little thing, is gonna be alright.
