Lyrics

When you first left me, I was wanting more
But you were fucking that girl next door
What'd you do that for? (What'd you do that for?)
When you first left me, I didn't know what to say
I'd never been on my own that way
Just sat by myself all day
I was so lost back then
But with a little help from my friends
I found the light in the tunnel at the end
Now you're calling me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
It's only because you're feeling alone
At first when I see you cry
Yeah, it makes me smile
Yeah, it makes me smile
At worst I'll feel bad for a while
But then I just smile
I go ahead and smile
Whenever you see me, you say that you want me back (Want me back)
And I tell you it don't mean jack (It don't mean jack)
No, it don't mean jack (No, it don't mean jack)
I couldn't stop laughing, no, I just couldn't help myself (Help myself)
See, you messed up my mental health
I was quite unwell
I was so lost back then
But with a little help from my friends
I found the light in the tunnel at the end
And now you're calling me up on the phone
So you can have a little whine and a moan
It's only because you're feeling alone
At first when I see you cry
Yeah, it makes me smile
Yeah, it makes me smile
At worst I'll feel bad for a while
But then I just smile
I go ahead and smile
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
At first when I see you cry (When I see you cry)
Yeah, it makes me smile (It makes me smile)
Yeah, it makes me smile (Yeah, it makes me smile)
At worst I'll feel bad for a while (I'll feel bad for a while)
But then I just smile (But then I just smile)
I go ahead and smile (I go ahead and smile)
At first when I see you cry (When I see you cry)
Yeah, it makes me smile (It makes me smile)
Yeah, it makes me smile (It makes me smile)
At worst I'll feel bad for a while (Feel bad for a while)
But then I just smile (But then I just smile)
I go ahead and smile (I go ahead and smile)
