Smiling First
Letra e Música: Nicole Eitner


1) I thought that you made me happy
But it was me, me
I thought that give and take were two different  things
But they are  the same
I thought that you made me feel
But it it was us, us
I thought that you were the one smiling first
But it is so hard to define time

I saw what my eyes Wanted to see
And it seemed so new
I loved what my heart Wanted to love
I wanted to love you

2) I thought that our lives were so similar
And I was right. Same time same place
I thought that you were the answer to all my longings
But I was wrong. Oh how wrong

I saw what my eyes Wanted to see
I loved what my heart Wanted to love
I wanted to be true

Ref.:
Smiling First 
Who was smiling  first,
Who was first?


3) I thought my life was changing
But I was changing my life
I thought that I loved you
But I loved my new me


And in the end it is all the same.
And it isn’t new
And in the end We understand the game
And it still is true




Ref: 
Smiling First 
Who was smiling  first,
Who was first?

Smiling First 
Who was smiling  first,
I was first


4) I thought that all was so perfect
And I was right, so right
