Fake Smile

I plaster that fake smile on my face
Go ahead think it’s real
Don’t look in my eyes
The sparkle is no more
I’ve tried time and time again to put it back
But it won’t
I twist my hair around my finger
Go ahead imagine the happiness
Tell yourself the smile is real
Tell yourself there is that sparkle
I like it better that way
I’ll laugh when I want to cry
I’ll smile when I feel nothing
I do it for you
I fake the smile because I don’t want to explain
And you don’t want to know I feel dead inside
