Fake Smile

[Verse 1]
I think that I’m problematic ‘cause, I fucking hate the world
For closing all the doors on broken people who want to be heard
Depression is a thing people go through, don’t be a jerk
All you’ve got to do is listen to ‘em, help remove the hurt
I’m kind of lucky ‘cause, I step behind a mic to vent
But some don’t have that luxury and then their lives come to an end
That is a problem and those people need a fucking friend
Before it gets too latе and then they’re gonе, that’s why this song was penned
Look at all the happy looking people, with the fake smiles
They’re in pain while everybody says they hate life
But they don’t got nothing to hate, they’ve all got great wives
Great job, great kids, or do they live a damn lie?
Know you’re not alone, you can talk to me anytime
I’ll write you back when I’ve got time, I’m a straight up kind of guy
Messaging don’t take a minute; I really do not mind
If you need a friend, then I am here ‘cause, so did I

[Chorus]
I feel like I’ve got a demon inside
That I’ve got to hide with a fake smile
Fake smile
I feel like I’ve got a demon inside
That I’ve got to hide with a fake smile
Fake smile

[Verse 2]
I’ve talked about it a lot when I say I’m broken
‘Cause, depression gets the better of me and stays in motion
Some don’t know it, but I owe it to my listeners
For giving me the confidence and drive to keep on going
I’m not a man who is honest with himself
I know I suck as a friend, that’s ‘cause, I’m living in hell
And with these demons inside, I don’t feel no one can help
So, I shut everybody out, I can’t blame no one, but myself
And that’s what I don’t want anyone else to go through
It is a struggle when there’s no one that you can turn to
But you feel better on your own, no one can hurt you
Apart from yourself, that’s all you’re choosing to do
There’s nothing wrong with letting walls down
No longer stuck in a rut, just let it all out
But only let ‘em down for the people that you care about
And I bet you’ll feel better in yourself; no doubt

[Chorus]
I feel like I’ve got a demon inside
That I’ve got to hide with a fake smile
Fake smile
I feel like I’ve got a demon inside
That I’ve got to hide with a fake smile
Fake smile
