"smile again" lyrics

"smile again"

Where is the time going again?
I lost a home, I lost a friend
Love's an ocean, whether you sink or swim

I gave you my best, was it enough?
Maybe the past is holding me up
I keep the memories with me, replay what was

So long, baby
Did you know, you saved me?
Silver line faded
But you know, I'll keep waiting

'Cause when I think of us
I always seem to smile
'Cause I was happy for awhile
I was happy for awhile, yeah
And sometimes love will leave you
Even when it's right
But I was happy for awhile
And I don't know how I'll smile again
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

Yeah, yeah
Remember your face, like it was here
I'm getting used to all of the tears
And I'm getting used to forever without you here

And I don't know how I'll smile again
Ask if I am good, I gotta pretend
I'm holding on to three words, I should have said

So long, baby
Did you know, you saved me?
Silver line faded
But you know, I'll keep waiting
'Cause when I think of us
I always seem to smile
'Cause I was happy for awhile
I was happy for awhile, yeah
And sometimes love will leave you
Even when it's right
But, I was happy for awhile
And I don't know how I'll smile again
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
'Cause I was happy for awhile
And I don't know how I'll smile again

Blackbear explained Apple Music, "I got this hook idea sent from my friend Joe Kirkland—he wrote a bunch of Dua Lipa songs, Nick Jonas, Dixie D'Amelio. He's a great writer, and he had this idea for 'Smile Again'."
