I can see your pain has left you locked up, beat down
I can see the fear has made you desperate, burnt out
Too much regret and shattered hope
Sent you slipping down that slope
All I can do is lend a hand
Be a friend again
And it's ok if you want to vent, but
What I wouldn't give to see you smile
Once in a while
What I wouldn't give to see you smile
Once in a while
I can feel the bitterness that drains you, poisons you
And all those grass is greener thoughts, I'm telling you, they're killing you
You're not a have not, can't you see
What you've got's so important to me
Measuring your life versus theirs
You'll always come out ahead
In all the ways that really matter, so
What I wouldn't give to see you smile
Once in a while
What I wouldn't give to see you smile
Oh what I wouldn't, wouldn't
What I wouldn't give to see you smile
Once in a while
What I wouldn't give to see you smile
Once in a while
I can see your pain has left you locked up, beat down, desperate, burnt out
I'm telling you, it's killing you, killing you, killing you
I can see your pain
There's nothing I can say except
Toil away, and at the end of the day
You can look back on a game well played
Toil away, and at the end of the day
You can look back on a game well played
Toil away, and at the end of the day
You can look back on a game well played
Toil away, and at the end of the day
You can look back on a game well played
