Behind the Smile

[Verse 1] I know you think everything is perfect I know you think everything is working But looks can be deceiving It's lonely in the evening You only see what's in her pictures But what happens when the cameras all go down? [Pre-Chorus] I just wanna look pretty for you It's never pretty enough and that's pretty messed up I just wanna be happy for you But what about me? [Chorus] Behind the smile Behind the smile Behind the smile There's a girl who's always crying in the mirror [Post-Chorus] But she has to pеrform, there's peoplе around She wants to speak up but she's way too scared now So she just smiles, smiles So she just smiles, yeah [Verse 2] Why you gotta take me for granted On this night I've been planning? Honey, I got done up But honey, you didn't show up I spent a G on a nice dress To make you want me, it's priceless But now my heart feels so broke [Pre-Chorus] I just wanna look pretty for you It's never pretty enough and that's pretty messed up I just wanna be happy for you But what about me? [Chorus] Behind the smile Behind the smile Behind the smile There's a girl who's always crying in the mirror [Post-Chorus] You never notice her makeup, notice her hair The shoes cut her skin but you never care She wants to speak up but she's way too scared So she just smiles, smiles So she just smiles, yeah [Chorus] Behind the smile Behind the smile Behind the smile Behind the smile There's a girl who's always crying in the mirror
