Shattered Smile
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
