all that i'm asking for is..

all i’m asking for is a smile,
yeah, just a smile, just
let me know that
we once were

all i want is a
little while, just
have some time to
realize that you’ve gone away
realize you weren’t there anyway.

and i’m sure that if i
could focus on anything but you
i would not think about how
you’re one room over
but it’s like i’m not there anymore
the space between us is more than a door

and all i’m asking for is a smile, yeah,
just a while to realize that you’ve gone.
realize that you’ve gone away.

yet it’s like i see your face everywhere
and it breaks my heart to pieces
to watch him watch me watch you.
but that won’t break the heart of a fool.

and love takes the shape of a boy
in a green shirt, ripped jeans and a trimmed hood.
but all of that was shed,
and i’d do it all again if i could

all i want is a little while, just
have some time to
realize that you’ve gone away
realize you weren’t there anyway.

but now everything is tedious
and it all reminds me of you.
so i’m trying to be a shameless beauty,
no more skies will ever blue.

all i’m asking for is a smile,
yeah, just a smile, just
let me know that we once were
all i want is a little while, just
have some time to realize that you’ve gone away
realize you weren’t there anyway.

all i’m waiting for is for you to
leave her and come back to me
use me and leave quietly.
again.
tiptoe out of that door one more time,
just for me, my friend.
