[Verse 1]

When does it end?
The grieving part
I was six, you were nine
We had nothing to laugh about

So I took my books
I wanted life in the pages
I was lost, I was sad
I had nothing to live for

[Chorus]
See
It's not so bad when you're laughing
It's not so bad when you're smiling
Sister I
Am forgetting how it was
And maybe that's
A blessing

[Verse 2]
I drove my car
Down our old street
We were young, we were scared
We had miles to go
I told you jokes
I sang my sad songs
We were tired, we were strong
But mama said "Babies hold on"

[Chorus]
See
It's not so bad when you're laughing
It's not so bad when you're smiling
Sister I
Am forgetting how it was
And maybe that's
A blessing

But see
It's not so bad when you're laughing
It's not so bad when you're smiling
