Fake A Smile

Something tells me I’m not alone in this
‘Cause when I walk, I feel the earth beneath my feet
Though when I talk, my words are incomplete

Sometimes it hurts to reminisce
‘Cause when I cry, you tell me it’s alright to go
And when I leave, you don’t really want to know

In the instant of dismay
The moment of decay
The second I betray myself this way
I’m never on the mend
Unless I fake a smile (fake a smile) and pretend

Somewhere there’s a place where I belong
But when I settle down, I’m still out on the run
And when I reach the end, the journey’s just begun

Sometimes my weakness makes me strong
‘Cause when I dream, I can understand my words
But when I scream, it is reality that hurts

In the instant of dismay
The moment of decay
The second I betray myself this way
I’m never on the mend
Unless I fake a smile (fake a smile) and pretend

Something tells me I’m not alone in this
‘Cause when I walk, I feel the earth beneath my feet
And when it’s dark, I just listen to its beat
