Lyrics

Smile For The Camera

My God, I do it to myself
Just like you wanna be somebody else
I do it to myself
Swallow the key and lock myself in Hell

And I can't handle special occasions
Crying secretly at graduation
I can't even smile for the camera
I can't even smile
For the camera

I know it gets better
I'm on my knees, give me something to believe
I talked to my brother
He said, "Get up, get yourself together"

And I can't handle special occasions
Crying secretly at graduation
I can't even smile for the camera
I can't even smile
For the camera

Cutting the cake at your birthday
Your job promotion that we celebrate

I can't even smile for the camera
I can't even smile
For the camera
