Lyrics

The concrete broke your fall To hear you speak of it I'd have done anything I would do anything I feel like a cartoon brick wall To hear you speak of it You've been so sad It makes me worry Why not smile? You've been sad for a while Why not smile? I would do anything To hear you speak of it Why not smile? You've been sad for a while You've been sad for a while
