Trying to Smile Lyrics by Ryan Beard (beard)

Requiem for a Fatty

2020

[Chorus]
I've been trying to smile for so damn long
I could be happy by the end of this song
It's not looking likely, but I'll sing on
What could go wrong?
I've been trying to smile for so damn long
I could be happy by the end of this song
It's not looking likely, but I'll sing on
What could go wrong?
[Verse 1]
I'm the funny guy
Make you laugh until you cry
Watch the tears fall out your eyes
I will they could fall out of mine
I don't know why
I cannot cry
I can't decide
How to divide
The part of myself that wants to make you laugh
And the part of myself that keeps staring at half of the seams
[?] your team
Watch as they swing
I can't separate the milk from the cream
There is no bling
I feel obscene
I wouldn't evеn want me on my team
This was my dream
But now I'm just feeling so trappеd in between
Can't get my mental health under control
If I constantly have to just put on a show
But I know that I did this to myself
This is the life that I always desired
I'm here complaining
While people would kill for this
Sometimes I just get so tired
Being the guy that you laugh at
Because he's a fatty
Sometimes I just feel like a clown
Maybe if I could just get my life under control
Then I finally could use this sound but
[Chorus]
I've been trying to smile for so damn long
I could be happy by the end of this song
It's not looking likely, but I'll sing on
What could go wrong?
I've been trying to smile for so damn long
I could be happy by the end of this song
It's not looking likely, but I'll sing on
What could go wrong?
I can tell that you think that you know me so well
But you don't 'cos inside me right now it's hell
No you don't understand all the things that I feel
I feel
[Instrumental Break]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
I've been trying to smile for so damn long
I could be happy by the end of this song
It's not looking likely, but I'll sing on
What could go wrong?
(Nope. Still not happy.)
