Josh Ritter I'm Not Smiling (feat. Bill Frisell)
The way that you laugh
The smile 'round your eyes
Somehow believing your own alibis
You used to be funny, you sigh
But I'm not smiling
Walking on needles, walking on pins
Bad would not describe the shape we are in
You used to be funny, you grin
But I'm not smiling
I gave you everything, even my ghosts
I was hopelessly in love with you more than most
Now I try and I try but I just can't get close
And I'm always the one picking up after jokes
Hearts are mirrors light falls upon
Put them together, they go on and on
But I look in them after you're gone
And I'm not smiling
[Guitar solo]
Hearts are mirrors that light falls upon
Put them together, they go on and on
I look in them after you're gone
I'm not smiling
Yeah, I look in them after you're gone
I'm not smiling
