I Dance and Dance and Smile and Smile Lyrics

I'm always loving someone
More than he loves me
Lord
I wish
Just this once
That's not how it would be

I always try too hard
When i find someone new
God
I wish
Just this once
You'd need me more
That i need you

I danced
To please my father
Just to win once glance
Some sign of his approval
I danced and danced
And danced and danced
I smiled
To make my mother
Proud i was her child
To gain some small attention
I smiled and smiled
And smiled and smiled
My books and bikes
I bartered to try
To buy a friend
Now i'm grown
This heart i own
Is the currency
I spend and spend
And spend
And
In the end
I'll give you
Everything i own
Sure
You'd never want me
For myself alone
How i hate the way i am
Always trying to impress
Lord
If i could love me more
I could love you less

And if i could
Love you less
I would not
Confuse you
Dancing
Dancing
Smiling
Smiling
Till
Of course
I lose you...
