Smile

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
