Fake Smile

[Verse 1]

She's here at the bar and she's drinking alone

Her friends in the car and they're ready to go

Doesn't drink when she's happy and right now, she's down

She's betting on karma to come back around

[Pre-Chorus]

She said my demons got demons

And my tears, they got reasons

And the bartender came to interrupt

I started thinking as he filled up her cup

[Chorus]

I just met a girl with a fake smile

Said she ain't been good in a great while

Tryna get ahead, but shе keeps on stumbling

Hard to live in a world that's crumbling

I just met a girl with a fake smilе

Said she got to laugh so she don't cry

Tryna get ahead, but she keeps on stumbling

Hard to live in a world that's crumbling, oh

[Verse 2]

It takes one to know one, it takes one to know

It takes one to know one, I know how it goes

I've been caught in the spiral and living a lie

When every breath is like a twist of the knife

[Pre-Chorus]

She said my demons got demons

And my tears, they got reasons

And the bartender came to interrupt

I started thinking as he filled up her cup

[Chorus]

I just met a girl with a fake smile

Said she ain't been good in a great while

Tryna get ahead, but she keeps on stumbling

Hard to live in a world that's crumbling

I just met a girl with a fake smile

Said she got to laugh so she don't cry (Don't cry)

Tryna get ahead, but she keeps on stumbling

Hard to live in a world that's crumbling, oh

[Outro]

She said she needs someone to hold

She said the world keeps getting colder

I told her I know how it goes

I told her I know how it goes

It's getting late, I'm going home

Started to leave and then I told her

I know it's hard to be alone

Hope it gets better down the road, yeah, yeah, yeah
