Smooth to the Sidewalk

Fearing you would lose
What meant the world
To you
Words were all I had
They worked
Your cryin’ stopped
Instead of treating my good deed
As something I could use…
Later on
I asked for nothing in return…
That’s right, nothing in return…

Smooth to the sidewalk
You done did it. It’s done, done
That’s no tomato tortilla
Roasting
In the summer sun
You took my heart, took my heart
Stomped it smooth to the sidewalk
First impressions are nice
Those help to deaden the pain
But with my heart smooth to the sidewalk
All that really matters is
How you gonna treat me
On the last day?

It’s my final day here
And you didn’t even try
To recognize
The fact
That I was hurtin’
It was too much to expect
That for certain
You’d reveal
The side of you, I gently healed
As your true self
When it counted most for me…
Counted most for me…

I needed one more false compliment
Like the ones that made me smile
All those smiles, I felt I had to keep hidden
In honor of those feelings
Fossilized deep inside of me
I have this special message just for you
You better learn
To look into the future
Guess right about people
Or your heart too
Will soon lay…
It will soon lay…

Smooth to the sidewalk
You done did it. It’s done, done
That’s no tomato tortilla
Roasting
In the summer sun
You took my heart, took my heart
Stomped it smooth to the sidewalk
First impressions are nice
Those help to deaden the pain
But with my heart smooth to the sidewalk
All that really matters is
How you gonna treat me
On the last day?

With my heart smooth to the sidewalk
All that really matters is
How you gonna treat me
On the last day?
Yeah, on the last day
On the last day
On the last day
