Mannie's Smile

I await your return at the window And reach out for your paw We were tried and true from the get-go But now we've been separated too long Still, my stomach deflates on the floor Just pouring with regret I hold onto my only memento A shred of hair that you left on my bed Chorus You should've known that It was all for love, we had to fall apart I'll never forget All the days we had and still forgive myself One day you'll let go And maybe you'll think of me once in a while You should have known that It was me who made you pull a broken smile Verse 2 And the cats don't know which way to turn Their captain has moved on Has he taken a nap in the dirt I bet they buried him under the lawn But I pray you've forgotten the lot On a lap of luxury 'Cause every hour I surface the thought Of you just trying to get back to me Chorus You should've known that It was all for love, we had to fall apart I'll never forget All the days we had and still forgive myself One day you'll let go And maybe you'll think of me once in a while You should have known that It was me who made you pull a broken smile Do-do-do-do do-do do La-la-la la la Do-do-do-do do do Do-do-do-do Bridge There were nights when I would wake up And you'd stare into my eyes Coming close to have your head stroked And I'd almost hear your sigh Now and then I still awaken And always to my surprise Where you once were is now vacant And it tears me deep inside Chorus You should've known that It was all for love, we had to fall apart I'll never forget All the days we had and still forgive myself One day you'll let go And maybe you'll think of me once in a while You should have known that It was me who made you pull a broken smile Outro It was me who made you pull a broken smile It was me who made you pull a broken smile It was me who made you pull a broken smile It was me who made you pull a broken smile
