The Way You Used To Smile - The Research

I want you to know I cried

Beneath my baseball cap

I want you to know I would have died

And gone to hell and back

Just to see you smile

The way you used to smile

Before I put this band together

When my love was worthwhile

I never see you anymore

You're never there when I call

And you're asking me

Why are we breaking up

I want you to know I tried

All summer long to hide

From people I knew who would ask me

Why you weren't by my side

I never knew what to say

I pointed out to sea

I circled two shells in the sand

And

Dug a trench between

I never see you anymore

You're never there when I call

And you're asking me

Why are we breaking up

I had headphones on

I couldn't hear the phone ringing

I was a jerk and now you're gone

In my defence I was singing

About you

And how you make me feel ok

When I am having a bad day

I really need you now

This one's the worst so hear me out

I never see you anymore

You're never there when I call

And you're asking me

Why are we breaking up

I never see you anymore

You're never there when I call

And you're asking me

Why are we breaking up

I want you to know I lied

About the 16 track

I want you to know I only sold my songs

To get you back

Just to see you smile

The way you used to smile
