i really don't have that much to say 

so i'll paint this smile back on my face 

and let you wonder why i'm so happy all the time 



i need to find myself some air 

but this shit lingers everywhere 

i try to hide 



you say what's the big idea 

well why can't you just walk away 

and forget the things you say you need 



stop taking life so seriously 

it's the only way that i know to be 



*chorus*----------------------------------------------------------- 

i can't run away from what's inside 

i can't wait it out hoping it passes me by 

i've forgotten what it was 

i wanted to leave behind 

*chorus*----------------------------------------------------------- 



take it slow 

judge the weight 

before i make the same mistakes 



and let my mind fade 

this ignorance replaces the pain 



but i'm still losing too much sleep 

for all these memories that i keep 



to remind me why 

i feel absent in my own life 



*chorus* 



but the pain still exists 

after the memories die, the memories die 



it's all up to me 

cause i can't change 

what it is i've seen 



i have to take what i am given 

because without it i am incomplete 

this is my life and all the space between 



*chorus* 



but the pain still exists 

after the memories die 



i've forgotten what it was (3x) 

i wanted to leave behind 



i really don't have that much to say 

so i'll paint this smile back on my face 

and let you wonder why 

i'm so happy all the time
