Bipolar

Christopher, it's time for bed
Oh, mom, I don't wanna go to bed
Come on
Okay, will you read me a bedtime story? Please, please
Okay, you get to bed and I'll get the story book
You all tucked in?
Yeah, here we go

Here's the story 'bout a little boy who wasn't so bad
Smilin', but he feelin' so sad
As a young lad he lost his dad
Momma didn't have much
But thankful for the things she had
Mom and sister was the parent and system
Tucked him in his bed at night (goodnight)
Then on his head she kissed him
The lights go out, that's when it started yeah
Little Christopher became very scared
So then in his closet things began to move back and forth
That of course all in his head, don't eat no sugar for bed
What's the meaning, waking up from a dream screaming
All the while singing that

I got an upside down smile and I
Got to wipe my frown, dry my eyes
Kids this is how it is when you're older
Wake up and you're bipolar
I got an upside down smile and I
Got to wipe my frown, dry my eyes
Kids this is how it is when you're older
Wake up and you're bipolar

Before he became a man, he almost lost his fam'
Since his momma, get in the school bathroom vomiting
Shakin' up mood swings, cool swings from wakin' up
Dude seems cool, but really breakin' up
People go in and out of his life
He missed out on his wife
So he decides to go and grab a knife
And take himself to the other side of the Sun
Cause if he stays here then more pain'll just come
Take him away from this
'Cause he couldn't escape from this
He'd even pay to make this his last day
Then a ray from the sky shined on him
And God smiled on him
Now the whole world gets to hear him sing that

I got an upside down smile and I
Got to wipe my frown, dry my eyes
Kids this is how it is when you're older
Wake up and you're bipolar
I got an upside down smile and I
Got to wipe my frown, dry my eyes
Kids this is how it is when you're older
Wake up and you're bipolar

Pull yourself up out it
Even if you doubt it
You can live without it
Just forget about it
I know you tried to drown you
Tried to get up out it
Head to the sky and shout it

I got an upside down smile and I
Got to wipe my frown, dry my eyes
Kids this is how it is when you're older
Wake up and you're bipolar
I got an upside down smile and I
Got to wipe my frown, dry my eyes
Kids this is how it is when you're older
Wake up and you're bipolar
