about

I wrote this song off a post on Tumblr back in 2011. I particularly remember this girl writing about how angry she felt when she threatened to break up with him and instead of making it up to her, he laughed about it and said "please, you can't live without me."

I have always loved a beautiful smile and decided to make that the highlight of the song.

This recorded version is different from the version that i'd normally sing at open mics, and it was produced mainly for a studio production project in ICOM.

lyrics

I'm so sick of our fights in the past
And how you won't stop proving how wrong I was
And that you were "always right" and "hurt" more than I did

I hate the fact that my friends were right all along
It seems like you won't mind if I actually walk
Away from you and to know that you won't come after me

I hate that smirk on your face thinking that I need you
I wish you'd say something to make me come back and hug you
But no, no
Instead, you smiled
Oh, oh
Now I hate your smile

Like, what the heck would someone like you be proud with
A girl like me would need you because I can bet
You’re only saying that to make yourself feel better

No I won't admit that I miss us hanging out
'Cause it's bad enough that you've really let me down
Down, down, now I know your true colours

I hate that smirk on your face thinking that I need you
I wish you'd say something to make me come back and hug you
But no
Oh

Doesn't matter if your words were true or not
Because that stupid smirk on your face says it all
Doesn't matter if your words were true or not
Because that stupid smirk on your face says it all

I hate that smirk on your face thinking that I need you
I wish you'd say something to make me come back and hug you
But no, no
Instead, you smiled
Oh, oh
Now I hate your smile
