Gloomy Smile
Although I've found it hard to laugh these days
I have my moments when I sit amazed
The jokes that seem to spill out your mouth
Have me in stiches for time to come
You're pretty funny
I have to admit
They say laughter is the best medicine
Is it true?
A fake sense of happiness
It's what I see in you
Is that smile real
The one you put out.
You seem to fool others
But I see right through you
It's pretty selfless
To act happy all the time
When you're feeling all gloomy
On the inside
You're pretty funny I have to admit
They say laughter is the best medicine
Is it true?
A fake sense of happiness Is what I see in you
