Smiling Just Get By lyrics

I was there, they looked at me Whispering like I couldn't see Every step, they criticized Trying to define my life Faces cold, they turned away Words like knives in all they'd say Still I stood through all the pain Learning I could break the chain Alone, I found my way All the doubts, all the doubts began to fade Built my strength from all the scars Now I know, now I know just who I am I faced the dark alone They judge men for who they are Every wound becomes a scar Common lives, silent cries Hidden truths behind their eyes Alone, I found my way All the doubts, all the doubts began to fade Built my strength from all the scars Now I know, now I know just who I am I faced the dark alone Broken dreams they never show Carrying weights no one knows Walking roads without a name Different faces, same old pain Smiling just to get by Holding tears they never cry Alone, I found my way All the doubts, all the doubts began to fade Built my strength from all the scars Now I know, now I know just who I am I faced the dark alone Smiling just to get by Smiling just to get by Smiling just to get by Smiling just to get by
