FAKE SMILES

 Verse:

Stuck in my ways
yes I know I cannot change
but I’ll make a promise anyway 
because I’m selfish and I feel
nothing here is real
so what’s the point of loving anything

Because I’ll be 6 feet underground
Like when you hold your breath and you don’t make a sound 

Fake smiles at the dinner table
I’m angry but you know that 
It’s not your fault
It’s just my thoughts are like a freight train 
and you know that I struggle to communicate 
because I like to think I know what’s real
but in truth my brain is like a battlefield 
but behind my chaos mind 
all you’ll ever find 
Is you

yes you’re gorgeous, and you’re focused
but you’ll always have time for me 
and you distract me way too easily
because your selfless and you see
the best in everything 
yeah you may as well love everything

But today I’ll be the bigger man
so if you close your eyes and let me take your hand

Fake smiles at the dinner table
I’m angry but you know how
to cheer me up
It’s just my thoughts are like a freight train 
and you know that I struggle to communicate 
because I like to think I know what’s real
but in truth my brain is like a battlefield 
but behind my chaos mind 
all you’ll ever find 
Is you

Stuck in my ways
yes I know I cannot change
but I’ll make a promise anyway 
because I’m selfish and I feel
nothing here is real
so I may as well love everything
