Just smile it’ll make you feel better
Will it?
You see me smiling
But don’t let me smile fool you
I’m just a sad lonely person behind this smile
Can’t tell huh?
My smile makes you feel warm and happy
But my smile is fake from cheek to cheek
Inside I feel as hollow as that old oak tree by the big pond
Where I saw two people drown trying to save each other
I’m as sad as that little girl that just found out she lost everything
But just smile it’ll make You feel better.
