Smile

Smile for the camera
Smile for the birdie
Smile for your friends
And pray they don't see

See the scars of yesterdays pain
The neat little lines
Wear shirts with long sleeves
Keep up the lies

Put on an act
A play for the world to see
Hide your fears and problems
Keep pretending to be happy

A huge web of lies
But it slowly becomes untangled
They start to see through the deceit
And see the real you, twisted and mangled

You're too far to be saved
Even if you want to be
All of your hope has disappeared
And now you must leave

Leave a world of pain and misery
Of hate and woe
But now the time has come
For you to go
