Smile&Receive (lyrics)

Never was alone, never was afraid
The times have changed and the dues were paid
No more advice, no more helping hands
I’m on my own, I had my chance

The question I’ve been trying to ask
I still don’t how to master this task

(BRIDGE)
I haven’t seen your smiling face
I’d love to remain in your embrace

(CHORUS) X 2
Don’t you know
By showing all, you’re showing nothing?
Who I never knew
This all, this all meant something… to you

I’ve tried to give all I could give
You never knew how to smile and receive
I could comprehend, I could to live
But you wouldn’t know how to love and forgive

(BRIDGE)
I haven’t seen your smiling face
I’d love to remain in your embrace

(CHORUS) X 2
Don’t you know
By showing all, you’re showing nothing?
Who I never knew
This all, this all meant something… to you

Never was alone, never was afraid
The times have changed and the dues were paid
No more advice, no more helping hands
I’m on my own, I had my chance
