some of the best lyrics from #Smile because clearly not many people are aware of them.
never really over

"we were such a mess,
but wasn't it the best?"
special: "justbecauseitsoverdoesntmeanitsreallyoverandifithinkitovermaybeyoullbecomingoveragain" (obviously I was gonna add that. seriously tho, it's an amazing wordplay on the same word "over" not many realise)
cry about it later

"I got angel wings but a devil's grin
and only one can win"
"I think I'm ready to be someone's new muse
I think I'm ready for a brand new tattoo"
teary eyes

"have you ever left yourself behind?"
"wanna run like your mascara,
wine stained lips talking to the mirror"
"you wanna hide like your emotions"
daisies

"told them your dreams and they all started laughing,
I guess you're out of your mind till it actually happens"
"why can't it be me?"
"when did we all stop believing in magic?
why did we put all our hopes in the box in the attic?

(*proceeds to write the entire song*)
resilient

"I died every winter
but survived all the weather
look at me now
they tried to poison the water
but I was a little stronger
look at me now"
"I know the harder I climb,
the harder the winds blow"
"the hotter the fire
the purer the gold is"
"I'm gonna grow right through the cracks"

(*add the rest of the song*)
not the end of the world

"you can take a frown
turn it all the way around"
"it's no funeral we're attending,
actually just the beginning.
throw on your fancy attire
fears in the fire"
smile

"going through motions felt so fake"
"rejection can be God's protection
long hard road to get that redemption"
"now you see me shine from a mile
finally got back that smile" (🥺)
champagne problems

"makeups to the breakups,
times we could've gave up.
we put the dirty work in
now we know it's worth it"
tucked

"I've been painting us
that picture makes me blush,
my imagination at its best"
"tucked deep, deep in my fantasy,
cause in reality we're a mistake"
"I keep you on the low, Imust confess
you're someone that I should forget"
harleys in hawaii

"tell me, can you take my breath away?"
"go ahead explore the island vibes,
so real that you can feel it in the air"
"when I hula hula, hula
so good you'll take me to the jeweler jeweler, jeweler"(seriously, amazingly rhymed)
only love

"let me leave this world with the hate behind me and take the love instead"
"I'd call my mother and tell her I'm sorry, Inever call her back.
I'd pour my heart and soul out into a letter, and send it to my dad"
(*add the rest of the songW*)
what makes a woman

"is it the way we keep the whole world turning
in a pair of heels?"
"could spend your whole life but you couldn't
describe what makes a woman"
"is it the way I cut my hair
and put no makeup on?
I feel most beautiful
doing what the fvck I want"

*add the rest*
conclusion: Katy has never been one to romanticise her words into stories and poems. she has a way of speaking her truth that resonates with many and I believe that's strongly showcased in this record. absolutely her best work of art.
