Plagued by those words i remain
“Smile like you mean it
Please just let me see you be happy”
And god i can't take it
She won't let me fake it, i can't fake it
But it hurts, i just can't take it, i need to fake it
I need to run
To let this all be done
Darling if you look back and hate me, just know it's because i can't take your love
I can't let you see me as valuable, just think i'm vulnerable
Because that's better, yes that's so much better
Than seeing who i really am
Because i don't mean a goddamn thing
No i'm nothing, not a goddamn thing to anyone but you
That's why i can't smile like i mean it
That's why i can’t laugh and make you believe it
