When you see a nice picture
You see all the smiles.
When you see a nice picture,
You stare at it for a while.
Funny thing, pictures.
Because they make you get dolled up.
Interesting thing, pictures.
Because all you're seeing is a lie.
People don't want other to know
That they're lives aren't all perfect.
That they're happiness no longer glows.
It's all for the camera, you see.
My pictures look perfect.
I look happy to those who see my smile.
But, continue to stare at it for a while.
You'll see the lie behind my eyes.
But hey, as long as you look nice,
No one will tell.
Not many people know to look twice.
That smile sells.
