Painted Smiles

[Verse] Lately I've been feeling low But I put on a show Gotta make you think I'm fine (oh-oh) I wear a mask Hide behind my lies Pretend to be happy But it's all a disguise [Verse] In a crowd I'm the life of the party Laughing loud But inside I'm falling apart Baby (yeah-yeah) Nobody knows the pain that I hide Painted smiles But I'm dying inside [Chorus] I'm dancing in the darkest of nights (darkest of nights) But this smile doesn't reach my eyes (no, no) I'm singing songs with all my might (with all my might) But the sadness won't subside (oh-oh) I'm pretending to be happy every day (every day) Hoping no one will see the tears I cry (oh-oh) Underneath the laughter I'm breaking Can't keep pretending It's too hard to fake [Verse] I paint on a smile Pretend I'm fine But beneath my smile There's a tear in my eye I hide all the pain Bury it deep But underneath it all My soul starts to weep [Verse] I wear a disguise Play the part But deep within I'm falling apart I laugh and I joke Put on a show But behind closed doors The sadness starts to grow [Chorus] I'm dancing in the darkest of nights (darkest of nights) But this smile doesn't reach my eyes (no, no) I'm singing songs with all my might (with all my might) But the sadness won't subside (oh-oh) I'm pretending to be happy every day (every day) Hoping no one will see the tears I cry (oh-oh) Underneath the laughter I'm breaking Can't keep pretending It's too hard to fake [Chorus] I'm dancing in the darkest of nights (darkest of nights) But this smile doesn't reach my eyes (no, no) I'm singing songs with all my might (with all my might) But the sadness won't subside (oh-oh) I'm pretending to be happy every day (every day) Hoping no one will see the tears I cry (oh-oh) Underneath the laughter I'm breaking Can't keep pretending It's too hard to fake [Outro] It's too hard to fake [Outro]
