Smiles Lyrics

I wake up every morning put on my disguise

Hiding all the cracks behind these laughing eyes

Nobody knows the weight I carry deep inside

So I wear this smile it's easier to hide

In a world that doesn't see it's my only defense

To cover all the pain I've got to make it make sense

Smile smile don't let it show

Smile like Robin Williams keep the world at bay

Smile like Kurt Cobain though the colors fade to gray

Smile like Chester Bennington fighting off the night

Smile like Avicii shining in the light

Smile because your life depends on it

Hide the pain don't let them see you quit

Smile smile just keep it in

Smile because your life depends on it

Every joke I tell every laugh I fake

Is a shield I've built so my heart won't break

The world sees the surface but never what's below

It's easier to smile than let the darkness show

I'm dancing on a wire high above the ground

Pretending I'm okay though I'm breaking down

Smile smile don't let it show

Smile like Robin Williams keep the world at bay

Smile like Kurt Cobain though the colors fade to gray

Smile like Chester Bennington fighting off the night

Smile like Avicii shining in the light

Smile because your life depends on it

Hide the pain don't let them see you quit

Smile smile just keep it in

Smile because your life depends on it

Behind every grin there's a story untold

A battle waged in silence growing cold

But I keep it hidden never show the fight

Because the world loves the laughter not the night

Not the night not the night

So I carry on wearing this mask

To hide the questions they never ask

Smile smile don't let it show

Smile like Robin Williams keep the world at bay

Smile like Kurt Cobain though the colors fade to gray

Smile like Chester Bennington fighting off the night

Smile like Avicii shining in the light

Smile because your life depends on it

Hide the pain don't let them see you quit

Smile smile just keep it in

Smile because your life depends on it

So I'll keep smiling though it's all a game

Hiding all the hurt never show the shame

'Cause in this world that's what we do

We smile through the pain just to make it through

Smile smile don't let it show

Smile because your life depends on it
