MIKE - Smile For Me lyrics

Smile for me

She was daddy's little girl
Came from a small town
The type of chick that
Everybody would talk about only 19
But her body was mean: she was a beauty queen
So she moved to Hollywood to pursue a dream
And just like she thought she would
She hit it big
Signed a deal, and every day she had a gig
It was crazy all the sudden
She had all the success now
But the pressure had her stressed out
And she was always getting drunk now
Always in the club now
With all the cool new friends
Who had the drugs round
So they would skip the lines
Then they'd sniff the lines and pretty soon
She was doing this shit all the time
And it was cool at least she thought it was
Till she couldn't smile without all the drugs
She was a beautiful girl
But inside she was hurting
That's why she's hiding cuts all
Under her David Yurmans

It's okay not to be okay
It's okay not to be okay sometimes
Smile for me, smile for me
Everything gon' be just fine
Smile for me, smile for me
Everything gon' be just fine

See, he was born in a football town
Was the kind of kid who
Never put his football down
See, his mama was a teacher and
His pops used to play back in the day
Was top quarterback in the state
But hey nowadays his son's
Wearing that letterman
Pops been drilling him his whole life
To play like a veteran and damn
All of these touchdowns have always
Been part of the plan
But that plan wasn't his
Life feeling like a lie
He was scared he couldn't live any longer
That's why them pain meds getting stronger
The same ones that he said for his shoulder
Thoughts in his head getting colder
Cause his reality was too embarrassing
To let his parents in
And anybody at all, he had nobody to call
They wouldn't get it or accept it
So he filled his mouth up with
Pills so they'd never know

It's okay not to be okay
It's okay not to be okay sometimes
Smile for me, smile for me
Everything gon' be just fine
Smile for me, smile for me
Everything gon' be just fine

Feeling like I'm falling down, falling down
And I'm calling out, calling out
Feel like I'm falling smile for me
Feeling like I'm falling down, falling down
And I'm calling out, calling smile for me

It's okay not to be okay
It's okay not to be okay sometimes
Smile for me, smile for me
Everything gon' be just fine
Smile for me, smile for me
Everything gon' be just fine
