Smilin' In The End
(专辑: Find Your Own Way Home - 2007)
Can't really say it's been a
good year I
know I'll see better days Some things that shouldn't have been going on around here Have been going on anyways I
was face down in a
pool of my own self-pity Gotta pick myself up and get out of this city Gotta leave before I
hurt someone There's a
place somewhere I'm gonna find Where I
can feel safe and leave it all behind Gonna get away and have myself a
little fun 'Cause you can knock me down, run me over Back up and run me down again You ain't the
first I've been treated worse Guess I
oughta be more careful choosing my friends Well, you can leave me cold I'll recover Say nasty things about my mother Well, you can beat me, mistreat me But guess who'll be smiling in the
end? Playing in bands since I
was a
kid Always part of the
brotherhood But a
lonely, only child Only barely understood I
was told I'd never make it so many times before The
best and the
brightest had shown me the
door But the
more they tried to hold me back, the
stronger I
got They said my songs were too simple, my voice was too weak Said I
was too young, too dumb, too much of a
freak They thought they could write me off But there's something they forgot 'Cause you can knock me down, run me over Back up and run me down again You ain't the
first I've been treated worse Guess I
oughta be more careful choosing my friends Well, you can leave me cold I'll recover Say nasty things about my mother Well, you can beat me, mistreat me But guess who'll be smiling in the
end? I
won't say I
ain't had my share of good luck Good luck is fine, it just ain't enough 'Cause you can knock me down, run me over Back up and run me down again You ain't the
first I've been treated worse Guess I
oughta be more careful choosing my friends Well, you can leave me cold I'll recover Say nasty things about my mother Well, you can beat me, mistreat me But guess who'll be smiling in the
end?
