[Verse 1]
They say, “Put on a smile, don’t let it fade,
Blend into the crowd, join the charade.”
The room is loud, but I’m out of sync,
Caught in a dance with no time to think.
Small talk and laughter, it’s all on display,
But my heart’s a million miles away.
I wear the mask, I play the part,
But the music never reaches my heart.
[Chorus]
Play along, be sociable,
Pretend the world’s approachable.
Wear the grin, shake the hand,
Follow the beat like they demand.
Play along, be sociable,
Hide the quiet, keep it negotiable.
But deep inside, it’s undeniable,
The real me feels untouchable.
[Verse 2]
The spotlight’s bright, and the script’s unclear,
I’m rehearsing lines I don’t want to hear.
Fake it till you make it, they say it’s the way,
But every step feels further away.
A fleeting connection, a moment contrived,
Yet somehow it’s how we survive.
Is this the dance, or is it a game?
When I walk away, will they know my name?
[Chorus]
Play along, be sociable,
Pretend the world’s approachable.
Wear the grin, shake the hand,
Follow the beat like they demand.
Play along, be sociable,
Hide the quiet, keep it negotiable.
But deep inside, it’s undeniable,
The real me feels untouchable.
[Bridge]
Behind every smile, there’s a crack, a line,
A piece of me lost every time I comply.
What if the silence spoke louder than words?
What if being myself wasn’t absurd?
[Chorus]
Play along, be sociable,
Pretend the world’s approachable.
Wear the grin, shake the hand,
Follow the beat like they demand.
Play along, be sociable,
Hide the quiet, keep it negotiable.
But deep inside, it’s undeniable,
The real me feels untouchable.
[Outro]
Leave meeee! Let me beee
Leave meeee! I just want to be me.
