Smile, it’s such a simple thing
Such simple reasons behind it
Yet it’s still confusing,
So confusing, how people mistake it
People mistake it, and often mislead it
Misuse it, and then they misread it
Ah! All the pretense I see around me
Will there ever be any sincerity?
They scream, and they ask
You smile, even when you’re not
Liar why at us you bark?
When you smile, even when you’re not
True, I smile and I always do
Because I never had a choice, unlike you
I had to smile, even though it hurts
Inside I’m dying, and it’s no comfort
Pretend, pretend and I pretend
Living my life in a perfect lie
It is my curse, cursed is the life I spend
Lying to make you smile
It’s not easy being laughed at
Not easy being pointed at
But someone has to wear this cursed smile
and to smile, even when you’re not
