Shattered Smile

Life smiles, some people say

My whole life has been one of those days

Sold down the river of complications

Life has more side effects than most medications

Just because I don't sleep

Doesn't mean that I've stopped dreaming

Something else always gets in the way

Things can change in a day

But I'm not too shattered to smile

It's the way that it goes

The highs and the lows

I'm not too shattered to smile

I never miss a chance to blow my only chance

My door's locked when opportunity's knocking

I'm for real, even when I'm fakin'

Thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken

Just because I don't look

Doesn't mean that I've stopped seeing

Something else always gets in the way...

I'll abuse every excuse in the book

I can't hide my devastation

Under endless aggravation

Loneliness is home…

Something else always gets in the way...

Still I'm not too shattered to smile

I'm not too shattered to smile
