I plan on putting any song I write here. I do rock music, but I have a couple songs I wrote when I wanted to go for pop/r&b music style that I'll probably make rock instrumentals for whenever I get the chance, so they'll be in here too. All feedback...

How Can I Smile?
Austin Cottom
©2017

[Verse 1]
Deep down within I know I have died
And I can't tell you how many times I have cried
And though I know I have to be strong
How can I do that when I feel so wrong

Looking at the pictures of me and you
And listening to the song we sang along to
Now that I am blue and my world is grey
I don't know what else there is for me to say

[Chorus]
How can I smile?
When person that made me so alive
Hasn't even been part of my life for quite a while
Feel thrown away
After all I've done for you I wonder how
You can forget about all the times I accepted you
After all that's happened
I ask myself
How can I smile?

[Verse 2]
People ask me often if I will be alright
I tell then yes but I know that that ain't right
And back when things were good, I wish it was that way
But from time to time I feel like I wanna fly away

[Bridge]
Now every thing is blue
And I don't know what to do
And for now I say goodbye to the smile that I knew
Everything is grey
And I drag through everyday
And the happiness I had is now hard to potray

So this is a song that just came to me after something that happened and a friend tried to get me to smile today, but all I could pull was a fake smile. I honestly having been pulling a fake smile for a while. It's something I have faith will get better. And I have had other factors going into it, and I really hope to god things get better soon.
