Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I put on my best face
Every morning, every day
Lipstick on the cracks
And I laugh them all away
My room is too quiet
When the door shuts behind me
I stare at the mirror
Try to find me
[Pre-Chorus]
But I feel the spaces
Where my heart used to be
All those little pieces
They keep slipping through me
And I hold my breath
Like it might keep me whole
But I’m coming apart
Where nobody knows
[Chorus]
I smile, I smile
For everybody else
I break, I break
When I’m by myself
I’m hollow inside
But I wear it well
I smile, I smile
So nobody can tell
[Verse 2]
There’s a bruise in my chest
That won’t ever turn blue
I keep saying “I’m fine”
Like it’s something I do
At the edge of the sink
I rehearse being okay
Then I wipe off the truth
And I walk away
[Pre-Chorus]
But I feel the spaces
Where my heart used to be
All those little pieces
They keep slipping through me
And I hold my breath
Like it might keep me whole
But I’m coming apart
Where nobody knows
[Chorus]
I smile, I smile
For everybody else
I break, I break
When I’m by myself
I’m hollow inside
But I wear it well
I smile, I smile
So nobody can tell
[Bridge]
If you look too close
You’ll see the light go dim
I’ve been saving my tears
In the cracks of my skin
Tell me it’s okay
Tell me I’m still enough
’Cause I’m tired of pretending
I’m built out of tough
[Final Chorus]
I smile, I smile
For everybody else
I break, I break
When I’m by myself
I’m hollow inside
But I wear it well
I smile, I smile
So nobody can tell
I smile, I smile
Even when I’m not
I keep my pain inside
In a paper smile

Style
Sad pop ballad with female vocals, slow 6/8 sway and tender piano-led arrangement; verse stays sparse with felt piano, muted pulse, and close-mic vocal, pre-chorus opens with rising strings and breathy doubles, chorus lands wider with layered harmonies and a held drum heartbeat, bridge strips back to voice and piano before the final lift. Soft delay throws on key lines, tiny reversed swells into transitions, emotional close-up mix with glossy but restrained top end., sad
