"Carve A Smile" lyrics

"Carve A Smile"

For every tear you shed I'd carve a smile
Into my skin
You have the unique ability to damage me
Tread carefully
You have seen too much and in the in-between
From where you've been
But tonight
Save your eyes

I can't guarantee I'll be the one thing you need
But I won't make a promise
I can't keep
I can't guarantee that you won't pick up and leave
But I swear
I'll make you smile

And with every kiss you make a better man of me
To save the skies of accidental eyes
Won't hide us here
No more my dear
And I would sacrifice the air that makes my body breathe
If it keeps
You safe

I can't guarantee I'll be the one thing you need
But I won't make a promise
I can't keep
I can't guarantee that you won't pick up and leave
But I swear
I'll make you smile

I was wrong about love
I was wrong all along
I was wrong about it
I was wrong about love
I was wrong all along
I was wrong about it
I was wrong about love
I was wrong all along
I was wrong about it
I was wrong about love
I was wrong all along
I was wrong about it
I was wrong about love
I was wrong all along
I was wrong about it

But I swear
I'll make you smile
For every tear you've shed
I swear, I swear
I'll carve
A smile
