I hurt
Every time you tell me to smile
Because you act as if it’s just so easy

Easier said than done

I sink
Every time you tell me to be happy
Because you act as if I have nothing to be sad about

Easier said than done

I drown
Every time you tell me to think positive
Because you act as if positive will make the bad stuff disappear

Easier said than done

I break
Every time you tell me to cheer up
Because you act as if I should be happy for everyone else’s sake

Easier said than done

I know you feel uncomfortable
Every time I let my fake smile falter
And every time I don’t seem happy
Or every time I can’t think positively
And every time I tint the happy mood

You’re so used to me faking it
That you thought it was real
And when I finally let my mask drop
Because it’s just too much work at the moment
You think telling me to be happy will help
You want me to stop making you uncomfortable
But sometimes it’s just
Easier said than done
