Oh how believable
My pearly whites are
Shimmering
Beaming
Fooling everyone along the way
They really are mischievous
Deceiving, cunning
No one can see past my pretty smile
It's been so long since I've had a real one
I'm an expert at masking the strain
My phony gleam tricks everyone
Even though I know deep down
It's forced
