Uh, uh, uh, yeah, yeah...
Fighting isolation, gotta get out this shell
Old flame, done took my heart thru hell
Now I'm out here, not feeling like myself
Drinking in the day time, might as well
Shooting in the dark, I'm hoping this would help
Black on the inside, out here, it's light as hell
The bar next to the pool, to watch the people
There you were, sitting on the stool, a cutie I won't speak to

Thought you was flirting with dude
I wasn't trying to be rude
We had to share a menu
Thought a convo would be cool
What's that accеnt you got?
Nah, I think it sounds cute
Yeah, I'm from Alabama so I know
My shit sound differеnt too
You in Massachu
What you like, what you do
Then I told you I rap too
You like, when you gonna show it my fool?
You nodding your head and smiled
Thought you was finna cap
You repeated back some lines
Said you like what it's about
Grabbing my phone
Sending yourself, the friend request
Making yourself at home, fuck being my guest
You don't have to settle for less, never settle for less
I barely know your name, you can never be checked
Peeping your vibe, whole time, that's why I didn't say much
I didn't think we'd speak again after vacation
So I enjoyed a happy moment, for a while anyway
Bittersweet, if she's smile at you, then smile anyway

Smile anyway

Ok, you hit me with the chat
I hit you up, you hit me back
No strings attached, let's be cool and relax
I'll be damned, look at that
What a catch...not saying she's mine
But if she was, so far we match
Beyond that...
My confidence was low, I said I needed assurance
Every morning, without fail, you texted me some with some cool ish
Feelings brewing, even though I'm still doing me
I still need you to keep doing what you doing
Waiting for the shoe to drop and stop all this movement
And it never did... friends for the betterment
You freshened me up, my life's peppermint
Walls crumbling around me, the ceiling is threatening
Pressure building so fast, the weight getting heavy
And then it's happening already - I don't know that I'm ready
Every time I try to put down that crown, you never let me
It's so easy to frown, I said I need you today
You said I know that it's hard, but smile anyway

Smile anyway

Old flames, done took our heart thru hell
Now we out here, not feeling like ourselves
Can't let this get away (Uh, mm)
Every day on schedule, told a n***a I'm special
God drug you through hell just to pull you out and bless you
Can't let this get away (Uh, uh)
I don't know where it leads but you got something I need
You ask me questions sometimes, always got answers for me
Can't let this get away (Yeah)
You A&R'd Summer Baby, met you in the Summer, baby
Saved all my summers, baby, you got my number, baby
Can't let that get away
So smile anyway
