Smile Lyrics

Grew up in my mommas house

Little place on the hill in the west of town

We were never rich but we felt like it

We got by just fine

Waking at the break of dawn

Sitting by the door waiting for my dad to come

My brother and I never had a say 


Son, pack your things and bring all your clothes

I know things are tough now but you'll be happier with two homes

Don't be sad you'll have all you need

Cause I've got you and you've got me

You tell me you need something to believe in

Maybe I could be your superhero for the evening

You can be down, and pout for a while

But things will get better so, please just don't forget to smile

Grew up feeling so alone

Never knew who to trust in a broken home

Had to fight my demons by myself

Cause I had nobody else

Didn't want the world to see

All the problems that I'm facing in therapy

Cause life don't stop for any single man

It's hard to think the old days are gone

Some problems are too complex to fit into one song

Don't be sad the courts will agree

That I've got you and you've got me

You tell me you need something to believe in

Maybe I could be your superhero for the evening

You can be down, and pout for a while

But things will get better so, please just don't forget to smile

All the tears and sleepless nights

All the wrongs that make me write

All the times I asked myself if I'm the reason they still fight

A man can only act so tough

Don't you think I've had enough

You tell me you need something to believe in

Maybe I can be the one that changes how you're feeling

You can be hurt, and scarred for a while

But things will get better so, please just don't forget to smile
