"It's not that complicated!!!!!"


~Verse 1~
10 a.m. on a Thursday of a week that had already been too long
It was just one of those days when everything was going wrong
She tripped and dropped everything so she stopped in the middle of the crowded hall
As usual, no one seemed to notice-she wanted to cry with the weight of it all
But you stopped and help pick up her books
And you smiled
~Chorus~
I hope you know you saved my life-you made my day
With a little smile that told me more than any words you could say
That this life is hard, but it'll be worth it in the end
I don't even know your name, and I'll probably never see you again
But you saved my life
With a smile
~Verse 2~
she was struggling with a monster-depression was its name
She kept trying to convince herself she'd get better but every day it was the same
She was clinging to the edge where the light falls to the dark
She wanted so badly to end it all but still she hoped for a change of heart
And you, you saw her tears
And you smiled-you smiled
~Repeat Chorus~
~Bridge~
You'll never know how much that smile can mean
You won't know how far it can reach
You won't know this side of heaven who that smile touched
You can't ever smile too much
~Last Chorus~
I hope you know you saved my life-reminded me that someone still cares
With just a little smile that told me more than any words you could ever share
This life is hard but it's all worth it in the end
I don't know your name, and I might not ever see you again
But you saved my life
With a smile
Just a smile
~Tag~
10 a.m. on a Thursday of a week that was almost too long
You saved her life with a smile and she wrote you a song :)

The author's comments:
A little smile can make a big difference. Ive heard this a million times. Then one day my speech teacher reminded me again how true this can be. The next day in Algebra this scenario popped into my head and I just started writing furiously. Even though this situation doesn't exactly fit me, it reminds me of the times when something as simple as a smile has made my day a gazillion times better, and I hope that maybe my smile will make a difference in someone else's life someday. Think about it. Smile!! :)
