cry today, smile tomorrow

I got problems
And I be the first to call them out
And I get lonely
Cause lately friends dont stick around
But I keep my hopes up
Cause thats the one thing I can control
I dont feel my mind with petty lies
I let that go
Dont fill my mind with petty lies
Let that go
Oh, The troubles in my life wont bring me down
And, oh, The struggles in my life they teach me how
How Im perfectly imperfect
And when it hurts, I just remember theres a purpose
So, Ill cry today, smile tomorrow
Cry today, smile tomorrow
And those nights when Im 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 wont bring me down
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The struggles in my life they teach me how
Teach me how
How Im perfectly imperfect
And when it hurts, I just remember theres a purpose
So, Ill cry today, smile tomorrow
Cry today, and smile for all of those walls Ive broken through
All those times I couldnt choose
The cards on the table
The facts and the fables
Smile for all the ones who hold me up
When the weight is just too much
And I cant bear it on my own, even when I know
That, oh, The troubles in my life wont bring me down, Mmm-hmm
And, oh, The struggles in my life they teach me how
Teach me how
How Im perfectly imperfect
And when it hurts, I just remember theres a purpose
So, Ill cry today, smile tomorrow
I cry today, smile tomorrow
Cry today, smile tomorrow
I cry today , smile tomorrow
