Lyric

I gave one to the morning

When the coffee line was mean

I gave one to the mirror

Till it handed one back to me

I gave one to the table

When the silence started bending

I gave one to the message

With the little heart at the ending

I used to have them ready

Like coins inside my hand

A little shine for anyone

Who needed me to stand

I have no smile left to spend

No pretty light to lend

I gave away the easy part

And broke before the end

I have no smile left to spend

No softened face to send

I cannot make the room feel safe

By disappearing again

I gave one to the stranger

Who was cruel and called it tired

I gave one to the lover

Who kept asking for less fire

I gave one to the friend

Who needed hope more than the truth

I gave one to the hallway

When I did not know what else to do

I kept the bright side open

Like a window in my chest

But everybody leaned on it

Until there was nothing left

I have no smile left to spend

No pretty light to lend

I gave away the easy part

And broke before the end

I have no smile left to spend

No softened face to send

I cannot make the room feel safe

By disappearing again

It was not kindness every time

Sometimes it was fear

Sometimes I smiled so no one asked

What I was doing here

I wore the gentle version

Till the edges all went thin

Now I touch my face and wonder

Who has been living in my skin

I have no smile left to spend

No little sun to bend

No borrowed glow for anyone

Who only comes to take again

I have no smile left to spend

No easy way to mend

If I look colder than before

It is because I am real again

The lights are bright

The music climbs

But I am done

Being kind on time

No smile left

No shine to send

I am still here

With nothing left to spend
