Smile Lyrics

Tik tok goes the clock

Five minutes till it's time

Look back at the reflection

You don't recognize

Smile even if happiness ain't what you feel

Make it look real

Tik tok goes the clock

Three minutes till the show

Make them laugh make them feel like

They're not so alone

Distract, divert their attention from their pain

Take it away

Watch the stands fill up with all the people

Waiting for you to make them feel good

Make sure they don't get bored so they don't leave you

Won't you just smile

All eyes on you

Yeah, it's your job to

Bring genuine smiles to everyone's faces

But they have no clue

What goes on behind that mask of yours

Yours

So make them laugh yeah

Make their day

Joke about your pain to make them feel ok

They call you the clown for making living life worthwhile

At the price of your smile

Tik tok goes the clock

Two minutes and your on

Slide your mask into place

To hide anything that's wrong

Remember a frown is a smile that's unwell

Keep your emotions quelled

But the crowd outside is growing impatient

They're throwing handfuls of their popcorn on your stage

You feel an ever-growing frustration

Put on a smile

All eyes on you

Yeah, it's your job to

Bring genuine smiles to everyone's faces

But they have no clue

What goes on behind that mask of yours

Yours

So, make them laugh yeah

Make their day

Joke about your pain to make them feel ok

They call you the clown for making living life worthwhile

At the price of your

Sixty seconds still remain

You're still not ready something's strange

You feel like you're losing

Control of yourself

Thirty seconds now are left

Your arms lift like a marionette

Your legs carry you to the stage

At fifteen seconds the lights fade

And the world goes away

Then all lights are on you

Everyone expects to

Have genuine smiles

Left on their faces

By the time you're through

Entertaining the world with that act of yours

Yours

So make them laugh yeah

Make their day

Joke about your pain to take their troubles away

They call you the clown for making living life worthwhile

At the price of your smile
