Jelly Roll Smile So Much

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
I prayed for calmer waters, God gave me taller waves
I didn’t understand it ’til I wound up findin’ strength
I kicked rocks at the bottom like tin cans on the street
You name it, man, I fought and learned to turn the other cheek

[Pre-Chorus]
With all the hell thrown at me
Lot of people ask me
„How are you so happy?”

[Chorus]
If you’d seen all the tears I cried
You would know why I smile so much
Fought the hate I fight
You would know why I try to love
Even when it’s hard
Even when it feels like fallin’ apart
If you’d seen all the tears I cried
You would know why I smile so much

[Post-Chorus]
Smile so much
You would know why I smile so much

[Verse 2]
I’ve filled my mind with struggles, I’ve watched my brothers bleed
I’ve had nights that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy
When you make it out the shadows, you wanna be a light
Every day’s a blessin’ when you shouldn’t be alive

[Pre-Chorus]
With all the hell thrown at me
Lot of people ask me
„How are you so happy?”

[Chorus]
If you’d seen all the tears I cried
You would know why I smile so much
Fought the hate I fight
You would know why I try to love
Even when it’s hard
Even when it feels like fallin’ apart
If you’d seen all the tears I cried
You would know why I smile so much

[Post-Chorus]
Smile so much

[Chorus]
If you’d seen all the tears I cried
You would know why I smile so much
Fought the hate I fight
You would know why I try to love (Ooh, try to love)
Even when it’s hard
Even when it feels like fallin’ apart
If you’d seen all the tears I cried
You would know why I smile so much

[Post-Chorus]
Smile so much
You would know why I smile so much
