You don't smile like you should
You don't look at me like you could
Whenever you hear those songs
You are someplace else
Away from me...girl
I can't sing like the ones you love
I can't even create a melody
So if ever you hear these words
Know I sacrificed it all
I sacrificed it all
Everything I believe in
I put it all away
So one day you'd smile
When you look my way
So if ever you hear this song
And you happen to remember my name
Come out of the cold
I'll stay we'll play
If ever, if ever, if ever
You should speak a little french
If ever, if ever, if ever
Hear a clock or scientist
If ever, if ever, if ever
Run your fingers through your black hair
If ever, if ever, if ever
You dream of someone who really cares
If ever, if ever, if ever
Any of this come true
Know I did everything I could
For you to smile at me
When I smile at you
