The raw truth is that
you can make me or break me.
One simple smile seems
so innocent but faintly
below that heart-melting
and flashing smile
is something darker
and it lingers a while.
So love me or destroy me
I give my heart just the same.
The chances I am taking
could leave my heart maimed
and still I would rather risk
what little I have on you
because it’s that damn smile
that makes me do what I do.
