Description I see your fake smiles
I see your beauty cracking
I see your forced grins
I see the corners of your lips to sharp
Too high on your face
I see the feeling
Of a forced smile
On up in your eyes
I’d know it well enough
It’s not really a surprise
That you look miserable

I know a forced smile
I use one everyday
So the people don’t worry
So my friends can laugh
So the kids I teach
Don’t cry and can relax
I know a forced smile
How crummy it makes you feel
How it feels faker than it can ever look
How it feels plastic
And wrong

I know a forced smile
But mine is for the kids
Yours is for the camera
And it looks worse on film
