[Verse 1]
Found a girl that looked like me
When I first moved to town
Had stars in her eyes so bright, lit up her own sky
I guess it all kinda hit me
When I put that picture down
Who I used to be ain't lookin' too much like me now
Mhh, you lose your green when you live a little life
But there's a part of her I don't wanna leave behind

[Chorus]
So I keep the smile, I'll take the song
Feel every hurt but keep moving on and on
Oh, they tried to hold her down but they never did
Damn that girl didn't know how to quit
On a dream, quit on herself
Put every penny she saved in a wishing well
Still got a little bit of her in me left
Lost her for a minute but she ain't gone yet

[Verse 2]
Oh, I gave her forgiveness
For the things she didn't know
With her heart wide open, no wonder, kept getting broke
Yeah, I'm a little less reckless
I find peace in being still
Had to give up some things but some things I never will
[Chorus]
Yeah I keep the smile, I'll take the song
Feel every hurt but keep moving on and on
Oh, they tried to hold her down but they never did
Damn that girl didn't know how to quit
On a dream, quit on herself
Put every penny she saved in a wishing well
Still got a little bit of her in me left
Lost her for a minute but she ain't gone yet

[Post-Chorus]
Mhh-hm
No she ain't gone yet
Mhh-hm

[Bridge]
Take away my girl, no she ain't gone yet
Got what I got, they can have the rest
Looking in the mirror, no she ain't gone yet

[Chorus]
Yeah I keep the smile, I'll take the song
Feel every hurt but keep moving on and on
Oh, they tried to hold her down but they never did
Damn that girl didn't know how to quit
On a dream, quit on herself
Put every penny she saved in a wishing well
Still got a little bit of her in me left
Lost her for a minute but she ain't gone yet
[Post-Chorus]
Mhh-hm
No she ain't gone yet
Mhh-hm
