Lyrics

At Least

Even way back when I knew for certain, these things never last. From the past I saw the future, I was looking at the past. But you were never taught to love, that is why you can’t... At least I made her smile, if only for a little while, At least she made me see, the way that life’s supposed to be, At least we had some peace for just a while; at least I made her smile. I hate that I did not adore you, and treat you like I should. I didn't want to disappoint you, so I left before I could. Or maybe there was nothing there, nothing ever was... At least I made her smile, If only for a little while, At least she made me dream, of all the possibilities, At least we had some peace for just a while; at least I made her smile. Yeah well, I’m not waiting around for you; Not pacing the ground for you; I don’t need to do that, because I’ve done it all before. I'm afraid it’s too late for me; I’m broken and I can see, I need to try harder, but can I do it anymore? I don’t think that I ever knew you; I don’t think you knew me. When you looked into my eyes, I didn’t let you see. That I was closed against the world, I’m sorry that meant you. I know I failed to show myself, it’s something I can’t do... At least I made her smile, if only for a little while, At least she made it seem, like all of life was ahead of me, At least we had some peace for just a while; at least I made her smile.
