Mannie's Smile

I wait your turn at the window
And I reach out for your paw
When we're tried and true from the get go
But now we've been seperated too long
Still my stomach gets laid on the floor
Just pouring with regret
I hold onto my only momento
A shed of fur you left on my bed

Should've known that
It was all for us we had to fall apart
I'll never forget
All the days we had in store forgive myself
One day you let go
And maybe you think of me once in a while
You should've known that
It was me who made you pull a broken smile

And the cats don't know which way to turn
Their Captain has moved on
Has he takin a nap in the dirt?
I bet they buried him under the lawn
But I pray you've forgotten the lot
On a lap of luxury
'Cause every hour I surface the thought
Of you just tryin to get there to me

You should've known that
It was all for us we had to fall apart
I'll never forget
All the days we had in store forgive myself
One day you let go
And maybe you think of me once in a while
You should've known that
It was me who made you pull a broken smile

(Du du du du du du)
(La la lu lu lu)
(Du du du du du du)
(Lu lu lu lu)

And on nights on when I'd wake up
And you'd stare into my eyes
Comin close to have your head stroked
And I'd almost hear you sigh
Now and then I still awaken
And I wasted my surprise
Where your once worries now vacant
And it turns me deep inside

You should've known that
It was all for us we had to fall apart
I'll never forget
All the days we had in store forgive myself
One day you let go
And maybe you think of me once in a while
You should've known that
It was me who made you pull a broken smile

It was me that made you pull a broken smile
It was me that made you pull a broken smile
It was me that made you pull a broken smile
It was me that made you pull a broken smile
