lyrics

(Choir - I am still smiling in my way
The tears that roll down only show I'm ok)

I left the house without a jumper on or a coat
Life is full of surprises cos it started to rain
But I am still smiling in my way
The coast aint always clear just cos the sky is blue
I brushed my teeth and the wind it changed
So now my smile is stuck, who am I to complain?

It's finally my birthday and I am turning six
Came down into the front room and my dog he had died
But I am still smiling in my way
The tears that roll down only show I'm ok

Wasted my education so I could socialize
'He'll be a real good student, if only he would listen'
And I am still smiling in my way
It must mean I'm a dumb motherf**ker anyway

I drank until the pain stopped and then I drank some more
Tried to escape some feelings that would come creeping in
But I am still smiling in my way
Cos grief aint always fixed with a stiff upper lip
I brushed my teeth and the wind it changed
So now my smile is stuck, who am I to complain?

My dad, he killed himself when I was just seventeen
You might find that depressing but see here is the thing
I am still smiling in my way
The tears that roll down only show I'm ok
