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
