Smirking Girl Lyrics - Emilie Autumn

If you turn the pages of the past 

You'll often find a story without an ending 

No "amen" to say it's over 

All you have is a name you would rather forget 

But it isn't over yet 

Not when you built your castle out of barricades 

To guard against the fools you beat so long ago 

Long before you even knew they were fools, but 

Even long still since you saw a god in anyone 

And, for such an independant soul, 

You sure wanted to believe in someone else 

Can you blame them that you hate them? 

Smirking girl, you ask too much 

Who said anyone would show you the way? 

Who said anyone would care what you'll do someday? 

You're all alone here 

You can't buy what isn't there 

You're all alone here 

You can't change what isn't fair 

How obstinate you are 

You can't forgive them 

All they did was make you cry 

On every day that passed you by 

How wise they were to know you didn't like them 

How foolish they should have to ask you why
