Fake a Smile
Everyday I see people
On the news
Having been bullied
Or are alone and abused
I know that their lives
Leave them so sad
Or maybe just tired
Lonesome
Mad
And I know next to them
With all of their life problems
I have nothing to complain about
So I must have no sorrow
But if that is so
Why do I feel so empty
Like someone has left
Left me only a penny
But if that is so
Why do I feel so lost
Traveling in circles
To big of a cost
And if that is so
Why am I so depressed
I feel like life's not worth living for
I don't know what comes next
Then I ask myself
"What happens now?"
Fake a smile
Find a way down
