A Thousand Smiles Songtext
von ELLEGARDEN

Shall I tell you a story
A story of a poor little boy
A little boy who met a little girl with a thousand smiles
He named each one of her smiles
He filled his room with her pictures
When she left there was nothing left but a thousand smiles
He held her tightly the last minute before goodbye
This is what he whispered "There′s nothing
I will forget nothing I won't forgive
I never thought
I′d come to this
Can't you see
Nothing I can regret
Nothing I won't miss but I can hide it for now
′Cause you gave me a thousand ways to smile"


It occurred a dozen years latter
The next day was his 23rd birthday
His idle life ended up in shooting a girl
He cursed his whole lost life in a tiny concrete cage
He looked around and found there′s nothing left in his hands
He held himself tightly the last minute before goodbye
This is what he whispered "There's nothing
I will forget nothing I won′t forgive
I never thought
I'd come to this
Can′t you see
Nothing I can regret
Nothing I won't miss but I can hide it for now
′Cause you gave me a thousand ways to smile"

He held himself tightly in front of the gallows
This is what he whispered
"Nothing I will forget
Nothing I won't forgive
I never thought
I'd come to this
Can′t you see
Nothing I can regret
Nothing I won′t miss but I can hide it for now
'Cause you gave me a thousand ways to smile"
"Nothing I will forget
Nothing I won′t forgive
I never thought
I'd come to this
Can′t you see
Nothing I can regret
Nothing I won't miss but I can hide it for now
′Cause you gave me a thousand ways to smile
So I'm alright"
