Fake Smile Fight

Lyrics

Verse 1
Every night I fight
with the voices in my head
Memories in the dark
curl around my bed
What happened when I was little
still lives under my skin
I learned how to run
before I learned to let them in

Pre-Chorus
I was thirteen and gone
with nowhere safe to go
No one asked if I was okay
No one wanted to know
Now I wear this face
like it can keep me whole
But I shake when I’m alone
and I’m losing control

Chorus
Fake smile, fake smile
I’m breaking inside
Fake smile, fake smile
I bleed and I hide
Scars on scars
I carry too much
Fake smile, fake smile
Please notice my touch

Verse 2
People put me down
like it’s easy, like it’s fun
I take the hit and stand there
while the damage is done
When I get knocked down
I don’t know how to speak
I’m screaming in my silence
and it cuts me deep

Pre-Chorus
I was thirteen and gone
with nowhere safe to go
No one asked if I was okay
No one wanted to know
Now I wear this face
like it can keep me whole
But I shake when I’m alone
and I’m losing control

Chorus
Fake smile, fake smile
I’m breaking inside
Fake smile, fake smile
I bleed and I hide
Scars on scars
I carry too much
Fake smile, fake smile
Please notice my touch

Bridge
I’m not made of stone
I’m just tired of the war
If you see me fall apart
don’t look away anymore
Say my name, stay near
Let me tell the truth
I’ve been strong for too long
and I need help from you

Final Chorus
Fake smile, fake smile
I’m breaking inside
Fake smile, fake smile
I bleed and I hide
Scars on scars
I carry too much
Fake smile, fake smile
Please notice my touch
Fake smile, fake smile
I’m done saying I’m fine
Fake smile, fake smile
Just stay here this time
