Lyrics
YOU NEVER MADE ME SMILE
(Alice Olsen)
You built me up just to break me down
Kept me under your heel with my face to the ground
Throwing me a crumb every once in awhile
But YOU NEVER MADE ME SMILE
You took advantage of my gentle heart
Pulling at the seams 'til I ripped apart
And even when I traveled that extra mile
YOU NEVER MADE ME SMILE
You broke my heart, then I patched it back together
Let go of my pride, thinking love would last forever
The times long past for shedding tears
I've given up and into my fears
Holding my hand was never your style
No, YOU NEVER MADE ME SMILE
Instrumental interlude
I kept on hoping you'd change your tune
But it was always too late or a little too soon
Until every excuse turned into a pile
Still YOU NEVER MADE ME SMILE
You broke my heart, then I patched it back together
Let go of my pride, thinking love would last forever
Now it's time to wake up and smell that brew
Open up my eyes and see what's true
I'm tired of living a life of denial
"Cause YOU NEVER MADE ME SMILE
No, YOU NEVER MADE ME SMILE
