To see you smile.

I decided to go running
To a place to clear my head
Trying to forget today and
Those hurtful things you said.

It started with a smile
And some whiskey in your hand
You began to drink more and more
'Til you could barely stand.

At first I didn't really mind
It seemed to make you smile
I wished that you were more this way
It lasted just a while.

We began to dance and twirl
Going around and around
Then you tripped and hit the floor
And didn't make a sound

You got up and told me
To get the hell away
As you staggered to the door
I asked if you would stay.

You said "It started with a smile,
And some whiskey in my hand
I'm going to drink more and more
'Til I can barely stand."

I couldn't say much of anything
I walked up to the door
You paused when I looked at you
I thought you saw my core.

I sat down to put on my shoes
To run about a mile
I guess I'm not what makes you happy
I can't even make you smile.
