Lyrics Just Smile - Jack in Water

In your chair where the giants play
God pretending you are something more
Than just kids that went and
Got big enough to leave the front door
There's no school in being powerful
Or how to grow to from conflict
What is expected when I am directed
To never truly see myself?

Keep it in, keep it in boy
(Don't let it out)
Just smile, just smile now
(Stay sweet, stay small)
Keep it in, keep it in boy
(Don't let it out)
Just smile, just smile now
(Stay sweet, stay small)

It's just words but they can dig deep
Until they're underneath the skin
All I am scared of.
All I am was formed
Inside this frame of time
You're all small and vulnerable
So why are you pretending to be wise and tall?
What is expected when
I am directed to never truly see myself?

Keep it in, keep it in boy
(Don't let it out)
Just smile, just smile now
(Stay sweet, stay small)
Keep it in, keep it in boy
(Don't let it out)
Just smile, just smile now
(Stay sweet, stay small)

I know I cannot shake the words
That made me fear these parts of me
The parts that once were shamed
I've learned to trust again
But what you've said lives in my head

Let it out, let it out always,
Don't just keep it in
(Keep it in, keep it in boy,
Don't let it out)
Be strong. Be weak. Be you.
I'm not built by these words
(Just smile, just smile now,
Stay sweet, stay small)
Let it out, let it out always,
Don't just keep it in
(Keep it in, keep it in boy,
Don't let it out)
Be strong. Be weak. Be you.
(Just smile, just smile now)
