When the World Crumbles

Don't ask me to smile Don't ask me to smile Don't ask me to smile Don't ask me to smi-mi-mi-le Don't ask me to smile When the world is falling apart Every day feels like a battle, In this dystopian haze Trying to keep moving forward, In a world set ablaze I see the chaos and the ruins, Hear the cries and feel the pain It's a struggle just to breathe, Under this relentless rain Don't ask me to smile Don't ask me to smile Don't ask me to smile Don't ask me to smi-mi-mi-le When the world is falling apart To a life that's fraying at the seams In a world that's lost its way, Trying to survive these shattered dreams No more illusions to hold onto, Just the cold, hard truth We're walking on a razor's edge, In the wreckage of our youth Every step feels like a struggle, Every breath a desperate plea To find some meaning in the madness, To find a way to be free Don't ask me to smile Don't ask me to smile Don't ask me to smile Don't ask me to smi-mi-mi-le When the world is falling apart We're all just holding on, To a life that's fraying at the seams In a world that's lost its way, Trying to survive these shattered dreams In the rubble and the ruins, We find the strength to stand Through the pain and the confusion, We hold onto what we can Every moment is a struggle, But we fight to stay alive In this world that's falling apart, We find the will to survive Don't ask me to smile Don't ask me to smile Don't ask me to smile Don't ask me to smi-mi-mi-le When the world is falling apart A heart that's breaking in the dark We're all just holding on, To a life that's fraying at the seams In a world that's lost its way, Trying to survive these shattered dreams Don't ask me to smile, When the world is falling apart Don't expect me to fake, A heart that's breaking in the dark We'll keep on fighting through the pain, In this world that's lost its light Holding on to hope within the chaos, Through the endless night Ni-i-i-i-ight Don't ask me to smi-mi-mi-le Ni-i-i-i-ight Don't ask me to smi-mi-mi-le Ni-i-i-i-ight When the world is falling apart
