[Verse 1]
Empty cup on the sink
Still got work in my face
I been counting my losses
Then I cover them up with grace
You ask me how I been
I say, “I’m doing okay”
But my eyes tell the truth
When the room turns away
[Pre-Chorus]
I laugh a little too loud
Let it slide like a game
I keep my head up high
While the floor knows my name
[Chorus]
Fake smile, real pain
I’m still here again
Fake smile, same rain
I’m still here again
Take my hand
I might bend
Fake smile, real pain
I’m still here again
[Verse 2]
Brown bag on the counter
Same song, same stain
I wore last night’s hope
Like a shirt in the rain
Every step feels heavy
Every door feels thin
But I know how to move
When the whole world caves in
[Pre-Chorus]
I laugh a little too loud
Let it slide like a game
I keep my head up high
While the floor knows my name
[Chorus]
Fake smile, real pain
I’m still here again
Fake smile, same rain
I’m still here again
Take my hand
I might bend
Fake smile, real pain
I’m still here again
[Bridge]
If I break, don’t stare
Just let me rest my face
I been holding this weight
Like a prayer in place
One more night, one more round
One more step through the flame
I don’t need to be saved
Just don’t call me by my shame
[Chorus]
Fake smile, real pain
I’m still here again
Fake smile, same rain
I’m still here again
Take my hand
I might bend
Fake smile, real pain
I’m still here again
