Just smile
They won't notice it's forced.
Just smile
They won't notice it doesn't reach your eyes.
Just smile
The won't notice the tear.
Just smile
They won't notice you're breaking.
Just smile
They won't notice how hard it is to push the pain away.
Smiling used to be a way to hide pain.
Not anymore.
Just smile
Because they're all laughing
Just smile
Because you won't get this moment again.
Just smile
Because you love them.
Just smile
Because they're the best people living.
Just smile
Because they're yours.
Just smile
Because of how real it is.
Just smile
Because now it doesn't hide pain.
Just smile
Because you're proud of how far you've come.
Just smile,
Because for once
You're happy.
