[Verse 1]
I paint my mouth in gold
Even when it breaks
Learned how to stand real still
While my chest still shakes
I laugh a little louder
When the room gets cold
I wear the pretty version
They all wanna hold
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me, do you see
What I bury deep?
Under all this shining
I can barely breathe
[Chorus]
Fake smile, fake happy
Look at me, look at me
Hide the pain, keep dancing
Who am I now?
Fake smile, fake happy
Say I’m fine, say it sweet
If I make it look easy
Will you want me now?
[Verse 2]
I know the right reflections
I know how to pose
Wear your favorite color
Like it’s all I know
But when the mirror catches
What my eyes won’t say
I feel myself go missing
Every single day
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me, do you see
What I bury deep?
Under all this shining
I can barely breathe
[Chorus]
Fake smile, fake happy
Look at me, look at me
Hide the pain, keep dancing
Who am I now?
Fake smile, fake happy
Say I’m fine, say it sweet
If I make it look easy
Will you want me now?
[Bridge]
If I drop the act
Would you stay or go?
If I lose the sparkle
Would you still know me?
I’m tired of the fitting
Tired of the show
Tell me where I end now
Tell me who I know
[Final Chorus]
Fake smile, fake happy
Look at me, look at me
Hide the pain, keep dancing
Who am I now?
Fake smile, fake happy
Say I’m fine, say it sweet
If I make it look easy
Will you want me now?
Fake smile, fake happy
Look at me, look at me
If I stop pretending
Will I want me now?
