Her's – Mannie's Smile lyrics

[Verse 1]
I await your return at the window
And reach out for your paw
Well you 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 shredded page you left on my bed

[Chorus]
You should've known that it was all
???
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 go and broke your smile

[Verse 2]
And the cats don't know which way to turn
Their captain is now gone
"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 the lap of luxury
'Cause every hour I surface the thought
Of you just trying to get back to me

[Chorus]
You should have known that it was all
???
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 go and broke your smile

[Scatting]

[Verse 3]
And on nights when I would wake up
And you'd stare into my eyes
Come in close to have your head stroked
And I'd almost hear your sigh
Now and then I still awaken
And I wasted my surprise
Where you once were is now vacant
And it tears me deep inside

[Chorus]
You should have known that it was all
???
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 go and broke your smile

[Outro]
It was me that made you go and broke your smile [x4]
