Smile

Shouldn't let my eyes leak, but

May my dreams seep through them now.

If only I could let go...

Let go of all my raindrops.

Even I wish for one thing:

 

Smile instead of sorrow;

Here's happy tears for today.

 

Sing your sad song tomorrow.

Here comes another reason...

 

Another reason to stay.

Never got to meet new friends...

Didn't let that bother me.

 

Didn't think it'd get so bad...

Only wished for it to end.

"Now smile before sadness."

Taught to me by my peers...

 

Couldn't keep up with the mess...

Reason why I left with fear.

You couldn't save me, I guess.
