Analysis of ♪ My Fake Smile (lyrics) ♫ ♪
Every morning I get up,
And put on the same old,
The same old smile.
And its not easy,
Not easy wearing it around,
'Cause it's always trying to turn around.
And even though
I have so many great friends
It seems
That no one will ever understand
Each mornin' I awake I smile,
But no one ever notices its a lie.
And while you smile back, laugh a lot,
I'm waiting to scream and cry!
I'm never quite understood
By all those I thought I knew.
And when you see me breakdown
You'll never get why...
But you'll never notice through
My fake smile...
I try to stay strong but
Sometimes I just gotta cry,
And you make look at me weird
But I really
I really don't care!
Let me cry, don't comfort me,
I know you don't
You don't care.
You were the ones who teased me in life,
I don't give a shit what you have to say.
And though I've been runnin' through life,
I may seem
I may seem perfectly fine!
Each mornin' I awake I smile,
But no one ever notices its a lie.
And while you smile back, laugh a lot,
I'm waiting to scream and cry!
I'm never quite understood
By all those I thought I knew.
And when you see me breakdown
You'll never get why...
But you'll never notice through
My fake smile...
Forgive me if I cannot find!
The words needed to be said!
I'm tryin' my best,
Tryin' my best!
But no one seems to care.
All I want is to live,
But I know these feelings will never be
Never be
Turned around!
Each mornin' I awake I smile,
But no one ever notices its a lie.
And while you smile back, laugh a lot,
I'm waiting to scream and cry!
I'm never quite understood
By all those I thought I knew.
And when you see me breakdown
You'll never get why...
But you'll never notice through
My fake smile...
My fake smile...
My fake smile...
