Smart Girl

You must have had a kind of new drug if you’re
thinking you won’t beat the best
I know you’re trying not to lose it but you’re
already miles from the rest
Smart Girl but you act so silly
sometimes when you get that feeling
like you won’t make it through the day
Well don’t start giving up
you’re so far
but you don’t see how close you are
Don’t start breaking down
you’re so high
and you’ll make it to the stars, but first the sky
I know you feel like your world is shaking
so when you think you’re gonna drop
just take a minute and I’ll soothe your aching
and we’ll still make it to the top
but now I see you’re crying It’ll be ok
It’ll be ok
Just don’t start giving up
you’re so far
but you don’t see how close you are
Don’t start breaking down
you’re so high
and you’ll make it to the stars, but first
We gotta work through this emotion
there’s no joy without some pain
Every day can’t be the brightest
there’d be no flowers without rain
and if it’s gray outside,
I’m here to tell you it’s ok
and I will hold you tight
we’ll close our eyes tonight
and wake up to a better day
Smart Girl in a great big city
little girl grew up so pretty
but you don’t know how good you are
Well don’t start giving up
you’re so far
but you don’t see how close you are
Don’t start breaking down
you’re so high
and you’ll make it to the stars
Well don’t start giving up
Now, don’t start breaking down
you’re so high
and you’ll make it to the stars,
but first the sky
