You cry the whole night
And smile all day long
You’re pretending not to care
Pretending to get along
With life, but you're faking
You smile, but don't mean it

Big house, good grades and beauty
Are not always everything
You're always in a shell
Trying to hide your feelings

Staying quiet and faking smiles
Seem easier than crying
Over what you can't change
So you go, try to act numb
But nobody's ever completely numb

You can close your eyes
And think no one can see you
But not everyone's the same
It hurts when I see through
The smile, that you're faking
Your smile, do you mean it?

Big house, good grades and beauty
Are not always everything
You're always in a shell
Trying to hide your feelings

Staying quiet and faking smiles
Seem easier than crying
Over what you can't change
So you go, try to act numb
But nobody's ever completely numb

There are some problems you can't fight
So you just need to ignore'em
But why ignore every right and wrong?
Why act like you're numb?

Oh please don't act like you're numb!

Big house, good grades and beauty
Are not always everything
You're always in a shell
Trying to hide your feelings

Staying quiet and faking smiles
Seem easier than crying
Over what you can't change
So you go, try to act numb
But nobody's ever completely numb

Oh please don't act like you're numb!
Oh please don't act like you're numb!
Oh please don't act like you're numb!
