Broken Smile, Beautiful Angel

Found ten thousand pieces of a broken heart discarded in the trash/
Memories and keepsakes of a forgotten love turned to ash/
Next to a beautiful girl crying with her head in her hands/
Saying/
“Why do I even keep trying?
Love ain’t nothing but bullshit and heartache/
I’m sick of tryna make it work justa end up right back here/”
And it makes me sad cuz the fire in her eyes has almost died/
She’s been lied to so many times
She doesn’t know what’s true/
Only sees raindrops and dark skies
Even when the ocean’s blue/
Just living for herself turning her back on everyone else/
But that ain’t the girl she knew
From a few months back
Before her halo was brought under attack/
By these vultures that just want her alone in the sack/
And she falls for it despite the fact
Their “love” would lack emotions/
Not saying they were horrible decisions
But that last man left her vision blurred/
Now there’s no way for her pain to be cured/
And she’s breakin’ down screaming out
But her cries go unheard/
Her questions of
“Why does this happen to me” go unanswered/
Yeah she’s hanging by a thread/
Livin’ on the prayer that
Someday someone/ will come along and mend her broken heart/
Day by day it goes on and on her happiness is gone/
And no longer can she see herself standing strong/

CHORUS
Oh but can’t you see the broken smile of a beautiful angel/
Hiding behind the tears from a lifetime of fears/?
Just waitin’ for a superhero to fix her halo/
She’s been/ brought down to her knees/
Too tired to fight back up again/
Crying in the middle of the street in the pourin’ rain/
Admitting defeat/ nah she can’t see a damn thing
From behind her broken smile/
But she’s a fucking beautiful angel/

All those nights spent alone drinks on the counter top/
Twelve-hour days wasting away on the factory line up/
Watching her beauty fly by in the sky so high/
Her self-esteem gone out the window/
Doesn’t even know if she wants to see tomorrow/
But her broken smile will return in a little while/
Cuz the Lord never gives ya more than you can handle/
And she’s getting close to the end of her wick/
Can’t wait until she knocks this candle off the mantel/
Her life’s been turned to shambles and in the scramble/
Every day is a gamble justa stay out of those shackles/
Wondering if it’s all worthwhile/
Cuz she ain’t had much success from any of her trials/
And that’s what starts the onset of smoking Cess/
A road that leads her right back into this fucking mess/
But she’d have a lot less stress
If she saw the light in the darkness/
Cuz not everything in her life
Is supposed to be a test/
But she’s been hurt so many times
That she expects nothing less/
Hanging by a thread wishing and praying/
Hoping someday, someone will be her Superman/
And show her how to feel human again/
But for right now I just see her
Crying with her head in her hands/

CHORUS
Oh but can’t you see the broken smile of a beautiful angel/
Hiding behind the tears from a lifetime of fears/?
Just waitin’ for a superhero to fix her halo/
She’s been/ brought down to her knees/
Too tired to fight back up again/
Crying in the middle of the street in the pourin’ rain/
Admitting defeat/ nah she can’t see a damn thing
From behind her broken smile/
But she’s a fucking beautiful angel/

Found ten thousand pieces of a broken heart discarded in the trash/
Memories and keepsakes of a forgotten love turned to ash/
Next to a lifeless girl with a broken smile/
Used to be a fucking beautiful angel
.....
Damn/!
