Two years ago I was sinking
One year ago, got my head over water
No it's no competition
But this year I'm winning
This year I'm swimming
I tried my best, time after time
I failed the test a hundred times
One step forward two steps back
Oh it wasn't my patience that lacked
So I cried, I was crying
And I tried, kept on trying
Now I smile, I am smiling, I am smiling
I cried, I was crying
Then I tried, kept on trying
Now I smile, I am smiling, I am smiling
I've got some issues but who doesn't?
I know mine and I'm handling them
I know there's nothing wrong with me
'Cause I'm perfect the way that I am
Oh I'm perfect the way that I am
I tried my best, time after time
I failed the test a hundred times
One step forward two steps back
Oh it wasn't my patience that lacked
So I cried, I was crying
Then I tried, kept on trying
Now I smile, I am smiling, I am smiling
I cried, I was crying
Then I tried, kept on trying
Now I smile, I am smiling, I am smiling
Trying, I'm trying, I'm trying my best
To be ready for what comes next, aho
Aho aho
I know, I know, I know this I can handle everything, aho
Aho aho
Oh I cried, I was crying
Then I tried, kept on trying
Now I smile, I am smiling, I am smiling
I cried, I was crying
Then I tried, kept on trying
Now I smile, I am smiling, I am smiling
Cried I was crying
Then I tried, kept on trying
Now I smile, I am smiling, I am smiling
I cried, I was crying
Then I tried, I was trying
And I smile, I was smiling, I am smiling
