Lyrics

The Price of Her Smile
©Schantell Wharton

(Verse 1)
Dim lights in a smoky bar, whiskey whispers in my ear
She laughs like summer rain, chasing away all my fear
Diamonds dance upon her skin, a smile worth a king's ransom, they say
But the price tag on her happiness, makes my heart beat in a different way

(Pre-Chorus)
Late nights, empty promises, a world I swore I'd never chase
But her touch erases all the doubt, leaves a fire in its place

(Chorus)
The price of her smile, a bittersweet symphony
Sacrificing pieces of myself, for a love that shouldn't cost a thing, you see
Living on the edge of a gamble, just to see her set me free
The price of her smile, a million miles from who I used to be

(Verse 2)
Empty pockets, hollow dreams, the bills pile up by the door
But when she twirls in that red dress, I can't help but ask for more
Another round, another lie, I tell myself it's all a game
But the weight of every sacrifice, whispers my real name

(Pre- Chorus)
Lost connections, broken trust, the life I built is slipping through my hands
But the warmth of her embrace tonight, makes me forget where I stand

(Chorus)
The price of her smile, a bittersweet symphony
Sacrificing pieces of myself, for a love that shouldn't cost a thing, you see
Living on the edge of a gamble, just to see her set me free
The price of her smile, a million miles from who I used to be

(Bridge)
Is this love, or a gilded cage? A beautiful prison I've built for myself?


(Chorus)
The price of her smile, a bittersweet symphony
Sacrificing pieces of myself, for a love that shouldn't cost a thing, you see
Living on the edge of a gamble, just to see her set me free
The price of her smile, a million miles from who I used to be

(Outro)
But tonight, under the city lights, I'll pay the price, just for a while
For the fleeting touch of her smile, worth more than diamonds, for a little while
