Fake Smiles

You never see our depression 

just the happiness we fake 

for your approval expression 

 

Fake smiles create the illusion of happiness 

as I laugh when I tell you to stop 

 tight wounds surround our emptiness 

when you stand at the top 

 

I wish I could be happy like you 

the girl with the \"perfect\" life 

I just smile through it all 

Fake smiles of course 

 

little children with their masks on 

hoping they don\'t break 

they want to be happy forever 

but their sadness is only raked 

 

with one blow of the wind 

their masks are blown off 

and then shows their true colors 

as their happiness flies off
