Smile
Breaking Free: A Journey Beyond Heartache with Hayden McHugh's 'Smile'
Lyrics
I didn't think it'd be this hard
Expressing surprise at the difficulty faced in a particular situation.
To go and try and let you down
Struggling with the task of disappointing or letting someone down.
At first, for sure, we saw forever in the distance, but the path of least resistance
Initially envisioned a long-lasting connection, but the easier route chosen leads to separation.
Is the one where I don't see you anymore
Opting for an easier path, resulting in the absence of the person being addressed.
And yes, I'm sure about my choices
Confident and resolute in personal decisions.
I don't need you to take me home
Independence expressed by not requiring assistance to return home.
And though, for sure, the bed is warmer by your side
Acknowledgment of warmth and comfort beside the addressed person.
Oh please, believe me, babe, I've tried
Emphasizing the effort made to communicate and attempt change.
You're not the one I thought that you were gonna be
Realization that the addressed person isn't who was expected or anticipated.
I got you singin'
Observing the addressed person singing about feeling melancholic.
"Ooo I got the blues"
Reiterating the addressed person's expression of feeling down or sad.
I got you singin'
Repeating the addressed person's singing about uncertainty without the speaker.
"Ooo I don't know what to do without you baby"
Addressed person feeling melancholic without the speaker.
Ooo you got the blues
Acknowledgment of the addressed person's feeling of sadness.
And even though your heart is breaking
Despite the addressed person's heartache, the speaker has another person who brings them joy.
I've got another man who loves to make me smile
Expressing having someone else who brings happiness.
Oh he loves to make me smile
Highlighting the joy the mentioned person brings to the speaker.
I know it hurts to hear me say it
Acknowledging the pain caused by the speaker's words.
So can you just get up and go
Requesting the addressed person to leave.
You say "the best I've ever had", "I won't be bad", "you drive me mad"
Quoting the addressed person's words about their qualities and promises.
I don't believe you when you say "I'm gonna change"
Expressing disbelief in the addressed person's commitment to change.
It's not that you can't break it down, yeah
Acknowledging the addressed person's ability to break things apart.
It's just you didn't love me right
Asserting that the addressed person didn't love the speaker properly.
It will take time to get in line, crawl up the vine
Implying the need for time and effort to recover and progress.
You will be fine
Assurance that recovery will eventually happen.
But you will have to be fine on your own
Indicating the necessity of self-recovery without relying on others.
I got you singin'
Reiteration of the addressed person feeling melancholic.
"Ooo I got the blues"
Repeating the addressed person's expression of feeling down or sad.
I got you singin'
Repeating the addressed person's singing about uncertainty without the speaker.
"Ooo I don't know what to do without you baby"
Addressed person feeling melancholic without the speaker.
Ooo you got the blues
Acknowledgment of the addressed person's feeling of sadness.
And even though your heart is breaking, I've got another man who loves to make me Smile
Despite the addressed person's heartache, the speaker has another person who brings them joy.
Ooo he loves to make me smile, oh, oh ya
Expressing having someone else who brings happiness.
I got the blues, I've got the blues
Acknowledging the addressed person's feeling of sadness.
I don't know what to do without you baby
Reiterating the addressed person's uncertainty without the speaker.
I've got the blues
Addressed person feeling melancholic without the speaker.
And even though your heart is breaking
