lyrics

Who packed up her smile
like groceries in a bag
and when did it become acceptable
to crush her like a rag

and the nights, they are suffering
and the days, they are suffering
they miss the oceans from her face

who picked up her smile
leaving in place, only a blank slate
the drift is often too slow
to know, until it's too late

and the nights, they are suffering
and the days, they are suffering
they miss the commotion from her face

who broke up that smile
crushed and plundered, thrown to the floor
and when did it become acceptable
to block it out, to close the door

and the nights, they are suffering
and the days, they are suffering
they miss the emotion from her face
