Cry Today, Smile Tomorrow

I got problems

And I be the first to call them out

And I get lonely

'Cause lately friends don't stick around

But I keep my hopes up

'Cause that's the one thing I can control

I don't feel my mind with petty lies, I let that go

Don't fill my mind with petty lies, let that go

Oh

The troubles in my life won't bring me down

And, oh

The struggles in my life, they teach me how

How I'm perfectly imperfect

And when it hurts, I just remember there's a purpose

So, I'll cry today

Smile tomorrow

Cry today

Smile tomorrow

And those nights when I'm all alone

Feeling defeated and beaten, abandoned, and far from home

I sit in silence  on the sidelines as the world moves on

With puzzle pieces in my palms wondering what the hell I did wrong

Oh

The troubles in my life won't bring me down

Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

The struggles in my life, they teach me how

Teach me how

How I'm perfectly imperfect

And when it hurts, I just remember there's a purpose

So, I'll cry today

Smile tomorrow

Cry today

And smile for all of those walls I've broken through

All those times I couldn't choose

The cards on the table

The facts and the fables

Smile for all the ones that hold me up

When the weight is just too much

And I can bare it on my own, even when I know

That, oh

The troubles in my life won't bring me down

Mmm-hmm

And, oh

The struggles in my life, they teach me how

Teach me how

How I'm perfectly imperfect

And when it hurts, I just remember there's a purpose

So, I'll cry today

Smile tomorrow

I cry today

Smile tomorrow

Cry today

Smile tomorrow

I cry today

Smile tomorrow
