Crack a smile, pucker your lips, show us a grin and be proud of it.
Let the world know you can smile like the rest
Let yourself show that you've not down trodden or depressed
But if you can't make it true
just fake a smile so as not to reveal
the depths of your despair
just pucker up and blow a kiss to someone whose not there.
Let others believe you're happy, so no questions here are asked
Hide your sorrow behind a jilted expression, which not long on your face shall last.
Emotions needent be obvious to every;
Tom, **** and Harry.
But if a bunch do show up laugh as if your merry.
Laugh not bitterly as to show the sordid feelings held below.
just fake a smile so as not to reveal
the depths of your despair
just pucker up and blow a kiss to someone whose not there.
Lie with your face.
Lie with your eyes.
Put those morbid thoughts behind a disguise.
Lie with your words, lie through your teeth,
never reveal what lies beneath.
For if they ponder to say
"you don't look so well are you sure you're okay..."
Just nod with your head and lie with your smile
then they won't ask you again.
Well not for a while.
Then let yourself sink far far away
down to where the root of the troubles resides day to day.
Hidden, masked, disguised in the dark, shattered in pieces the remains of your heart.
Heartbroken from heartbreak thats the thing the heart can't take
But it's a hard thing to explain, as no one understands your pain.
It's personal to you after all, it is. your heart
but don't let anyone notice cause they too could tear it apart.
Tear it to pieces, break it some more.
So don't let any one know the score
hide your feelings, your emotions: Be smart.
don't let them know about your heart.
just fake a smile so as not to reveal
the depths of your despair
just pucker up and blow a kiss to someone whose not there
They're not there for a reason;
reason being they broke your heart
But to get away from this
crack a smile, pucker your lips, show us a grin and hide behind it.
Let the world know you can smile like the rest
Let yourself show that you've not down trodden or depressed
But if you can't make it true
just fake a smile so as not to reveal
the depths of your despair
just pucker up and blow a kiss to someone whose not there.
Let others believe you're happy, so no questions here are asked
Hide your sorrow behind a jilted expression, which not long on your face shall last.
Emotions needent be obvious to every;
Tom, **** and Harry.
But if a bunch do show up laugh as if your merry.
Laugh not bitterly as to show the sordid feelings held below.
just fake a smile so as not to reveal
the depths of your despair
just pucker up and blow a kiss to someone whose not there.
Lie with your face.
Lie with your eyes.
Put those morbid thoughts behind a disguise.
Lie with your words, lie through your teeth,
never reveal what lies beneath.

Nobody can really read what your face is saying. Can they?
