Returning The Smile You Have Had From The Start Lyrics
You wanted to know if
If it was worth the pain that it has caused us
Both our lives - subtract one life
To know why it was you deserved this
As simple as I can
I'll tell you the difference
Between a pencil and a pen
And where it will leave us
Now as your body lets you die
And I sit here still alive
In my memory I wrote you down in ink
I never wanted to erase your story
Even with the tragedy it brings
The fluid in your lungs
That tells you you're losing
Stop breathing
The medicine that comes
Will fix you, will help you
But takes you from conscious to sleep
Place my hands to face and weep
In my memory I wrote you down in ink
I never wanted to erase your story
Even with the tragedy it brings
Something beautiful
Something torn from my hands
I'm not ready for you to die
(I can't leave here like this, get away from her)
This day will end with a life complete
(that is not all that she was. I don't want to say goodbye yet)
This day will end with a life complete
My closest friend here in front of me
You wanted to know if
If it was for the pain that it has caused us
Both our lives - subtract one life
To know why it was you deserved this
If it was worth the pain that it has caused us
Both our lives - subtract one life
To know why it was you deserved this
I'll tell you the difference
Between a pencil and a pen
And where it will leave us
Now as your body lets you die
And I sit here still alive
I never wanted to erase your story
Even with the tragedy it brings
That tells you you're losing
Stop breathing
The medicine that comes
Will fix you, will help you
But takes you from conscious to sleep
Place my hands to face and weep
I never wanted to erase your story
Even with the tragedy it brings
Something torn from my hands
This day will end with a life complete
(that is not all that she was. I don't want to say goodbye yet)
This day will end with a life complete
My closest friend here in front of me
If it was for the pain that it has caused us
Both our lives - subtract one life
To know why it was you deserved this

also, each song title is an answer to THE QUESTION.
in the liner notes with the actual album, there is a question.
it reads:
Where were you when i was ...
you can add in any song title and it makes sense.
i.e. - Where were you when i was In a Win, Win Situation.
i think it is a brilliant concept.
This song is so awesome.. wow. The lyrics are great. I absolutely love this.. "In my memory I wrote you down in ink I never wanted to erase your story Even with the tragedy it brings."
love this sone. pure emery genius
how are emery sooooooo good i cant get enough!!! i looooovee them!! best ever
how are emery sooooooo good i cant get enough!!! i looooovee them!! best ever
why is this song called "returning the smile you have had from the start"? isn't this song about death... consider me confused...
Latinorocker, you know when someone has cancer or is just dying away and they are emaciated and tired looking. It's just like remembering someone for what they were like when they were well as you currently see them looking horrible.
i remember seeing my grandma for the first time when i was younger after she really started to go downhill with alzheimer's, I remember what she was like before.
thanks
