Where did your smile go
it's the question most asked 
still to this day 
does anyone ever ask what happened 
not anymore 
they rather assume the worst 
maybe they caught you at a bad time
that's been happening a lot lately 
at least when they're around it has
so what does that tell you 
that they're somehow responsible 
or maybe partially responsible 
you shouldn't give them any credit 
no one should have power over you
especially when it comes to your smile
maybe they're not to blame 
but they're not helping matters any
sometimes those asking the most 
are the least supportive 
they don't care what happened 
or if you'll ever smile again 
that's why it's so easy to blame them
it's because of what they represent 
those unworthy of ever seeing you smile
