Before I write this song shall I tell you what's been going on shall I tell you what's been on my mind and the deepest darkest secrets I can find With a smile placed gently on my face the words will come along before I write this song before I have this drink should I settle in my mind what thoughts to think should I leave it and cast it all behind in the deep and darkest places of my mind With a smile placed gently on my face the words will come along before I write this song before I lose control should I show you the depths within my soul should I show the acts that pain has made or leave it in my memory to fade With a smile placed gently on my face the words will come along before I write this song
