Okay
I'm running out of time, running out of lines to write
To figure out how to make things right
It's like, my life changed basically overnight
And I'm beat down, trying to fight, this lonely fight
And the only thing that's keeping me going is your voice
Telling me to block out all of the white noise
Sometimes I wanna drop out, call it, say Sayonara
Got tears in my eyes like a night at the LA Opera
When the fat lady sings, you know that it's time to go
I like my life like my ice cream, always a Rocky Road
But I try my best to take it, one scoop at a time
Look around man, everything is fine
Alright

Just smile
When I'm feeling like I'm going to cry
I'm trying to keep my head up high
'cos it gets better, the day won't last forever
I smile
When the tears are running down my face
I know it's gonna be okay
'cos it gets better, the pain won't last forever

Maybe it will, maybe it wont
I guess you will never, ever, ever really know
I'm scared of growing old
Looking back at a story unwritten
I know Miss Bedingfield would understand
The way that I'm feeling
If you've been struggling just like me
Let me hear you sing along slightly off key
It goes "I've been up, I've been down
I've been kicked on to the ground"

I smile
When I'm feeling like I'm going to cry
I'm trying to keep my head up high
'cos it gets better, the day won't last forever
I smile
When the tears are running down my face
I know it's gonna be okay
'cos it gets better, the pain won't last forever
I smile

(Da da da da da da)
Yeah
(Da da da da da da)
Just keep smiling man
(Da da da da da da)
It's always a Rocky Road
I Smile
(Da da da da da da)
(Da da da da da da)
Just roll with the punches
