Smile Bright
Want me to change I'll stay the same Want me to be tamed I'll show you rage
Don't like my poetry Read my book Don't like my food Watch me cook Want the
worse for me I'll give you the best Want me to be a follower I'll show you I'm
different from the rest Want me to burn in hell Heaven will see me through Want
me to tell you lies I'll tell you nothing but the truth Want me to be sad Watch me
shine Want me to enable bad behavior Watch me fight crime Don't like that I'm
successful Watch my money grow Don't like my knowledge You're going to hear
about all the things I know Want me to fail Watch me suceede Want me to be
disappointed Watch me forever pleased Want it to rain You'll see the sun Want
me to be in pain Watch me have fun Want to erase my glory Try and you'll see
That happily inevitably I will be me You can't bring me down Though you can try
But thank you for your negativity It's the fuel to my fire That keeps me alive Thanks
to you I don't give up Thanks to you I put up a fight I stand tall stay tough
Because your animosity is what makes me strive Because I will smile as long as
you want me to cry
