Faking a Smile

🎤 Verse 1:

Laughing at jokes I don’t really get,

Holding a drink, but my hands just sweat.

I’m in the photos, but not really there —

Wishing someone would notice I care.

---

🎶 Pre-Chorus:

I’ve got followers and friends online,

But no one asks if I’m really fine...

---

💔 Chorus:

I’m alone in a room full of people,

Faking a smile like it’s peaceful.

Saying I’m good when I’m barely okay,

Waiting for someone to look my way.

It’s loud, but I still feel see-through —

I’m here… but no one sees the truth.

---

🌙 Verse 2:

They talk about plans I’ll never attend,

I nod along, but I’m playing pretend.

Scrolling at night just to feel a spark,

But all I find is an empty heart.

---

🎶 Pre-Chorus (repeat):

I’ve got followers and friends online,

But no one asks if I’m really fine...

---

💔 Chorus (repeat):

I’m alone in a room full of people,

Faking a smile like it’s peaceful.

Saying I’m good when I’m barely okay,

Waiting for someone to look my way.

It’s loud, but I still feel see-through —

I’m here… but no one sees the truth.

---

🕯️ Bridge (quiet, aching):

It’s not the silence that breaks me down,

It’s being unheard while I’m still around...

---

🎤 Final Chorus (soft, then powerful):

I’m alone in a room full of people,

My heart’s on mute, but it’s lethal.

Saying I’m fine — I do it too well,

Waving from the edge of my shell.

I’m surrounded… but feel like one —

Like the last light when the party’s done.
