Smile
Oliver Koletzki & Fran Lyrics

Hand me downs and second choices
I used to settle for less and feel inferior

Staying small, like I had no voice
I tried not to be visible and stay in the shadows

But you picked me up
You rescued me from my self-doubt and fears

You saw the true me
You recognized who I really am behind the facade

When everyone else saw through me
When others saw my flaws and inadequacies

And I smiled, smiled
I finally felt happy and content

The gift I've had since I was a child
The ability to smile and find joy easily

Smile, smile
Repeat of the previous line

I hold my head up high
I'm confident and proud of who I am

Now I see, this is me
I've accepted my true self thanks to you

You never stopped believing
You had faith in me even when I didn't

Mine was crooked, the same as yours
My smile was not perfect, but neither was yours

Full of mischief, not the flaw I thought it was
My playful grin was not a defect, but a unique trait

You painted me
You showed me a different, positive perspective

In such detail
You paid attention to every aspect of me

Made me feel beautiful
You made me feel attractive and special

Anytime I feel blue
Whenever I'm sad or down

I just need to think of you
I remember your love and support

How you loved me as I am
You accepted me unconditionally

And how I love you
I feel grateful and affectionate towards you

Now I see how you saw me
I appreciate your perspective on me

I smile
I'm happy and content
