Faking Smiles Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Once again, showing off my teeth
The fall of who I am
The rising of my cheeks
Here I am
In the bed I’ve chosen
Yeah I might be breaking
But you would never know it
[Chorus]
I’m getting good at faking smiles
Different laughs in different styles
Even I forget what I’ve been hiding
Bet I’m up there with the best
Hiding heartbreak and regret
I’ve been doing this a while
Yeah, I’m good at faking smiles
Faking smiles
[Verse 2]
I can’t sleep
I’m bad at waking up
I’m bad at telling someone I’m in love with: “I’m in lovе”
Oh, and when she calls
I say what I rehеarsed
I tell her everything’s okay
And that just makes it worse
[Chorus]
But I’m getting good at faking smiles
Different laughs in different styles
Even I forget what I’ve been hiding
Bet I’m up there with the best
Anyone would be impressed
I’ve been doing this a while
Yeah, I’m good at faking smiles
Faking smiles
[Bridge]
Yeah I’m pretty sure (pretty sure)
I’m the best on Earth (best on Earth)
I probably deserve some kind of award
[Chorus]
I’m getting good at faking smiles
Different laughs in different styles
Even I forget what I’ve been hiding
Bet I’m up there with the best
I’m just hoping she’s impressed
I’ve been doing this a while
Yeah, I’m good at faking smiles
Faking smiles
