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
