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
