Fake Smile

I think that I’m problematic ‘cause, I fucking hate the world For closing all the doors on broken people who want to be heard Depression is a thing people go through, don’t be a jerk All you’ve got to do is listen to ‘em, help remove the hurt I’m kind of lucky ‘cause, I step behind a mic to vent But some don’t have that luxury and then their lives come to an end That is a problem and those people need a fucking friend Before it gets too late and then they’re gone, that’s why this song was penned Look at all the happy looking people, with the fake smiles They’re in pain while everybody says they hate life But they don’t got nothing to hate, they’ve all got great wives Great job, great kids, or do they live a damn lie? Know you’re not alone, you can talk to me anytime I’ll write you back when I’ve got time, I’m a straight up kind of guy Messaging don’t take a minute, I really do not mind If you need a friend, then I am here ‘cause, so did I I feel like I’ve got a demon inside That I’ve got to hide with a fake smile Fake smile I feel like I’ve got a demon inside That I’ve got to hide with a fake smile Fake smile I’ve talked about it a lot when I say I’m broken ‘Cause, depression gets the better of me and stays in motion Some don’t know it, but I owe it to my listeners For giving me the confidence and drive to keep on going I’m not a man who is honest with himself I know I suck as a friend, that’s ‘cause, I’m living in hell And with these demons inside, I don’t feel no one can help So, I shut everybody out, I can’t blame no one, but myself And that’s what I don’t want anyone else to go through It is a struggle when there’s no one that you can turn to But you feel better on your own, no one can hurt you 'Part from yourself, that’s all you’re choosing to do There’s nothing wrong with letting walls down No longer stuck in a rut, just let it all out But only let ‘em down for the people that you care about And I bet you’ll feel better in yourself, no doubt I feel like I’ve got a demon inside That I’ve got to hide with a fake smile Fake smile I feel like I’ve got a demon inside That I’ve got to hide with a fake smile Fake smile
