Behind the Smile

Yeah

Look at me

I’m doing great… That’s what they see

New day, new clothes,

picture-perfect life Post it like everything is going right

Everybody sees the highlight reel

Nobody knows how I really feel They say,

“Man, you made it,

look at you” I smile and say,

“Yeah, I’m doing good”

But when the room gets quiet And the screen goes black I

start wondering How long can I keep this act?

I got a smile on my face But there’s a lot I

never say Everybody sees the sunshine Nobody sees the rain

BEHIND THE SMILE

THERE’S A WHOLE OTHER SIDE I LAUGH WITH EVERYBODY THEN I FALL

APART INSIDE

BEHIND THE SMILE I’M JUST TRYING TO GET BY YOU SEE THE

BEST OF ME BUT YOU DON’T SEE WHAT’S INSIDE

Yeah

Scrolling through my phone,

everybody’s winning New house,

new car, everybody’s grinning I compare my life to a perfect screen

Then wonder why I never feel like me I know it’s fake,

but it still gets loud Everybody’s up when I’m feeling down So

I post that picture,

put the filter on Then close my phone when everybody’s gone

I got a smile on my face But there’s a lot I

never say Everybody sees the sunshine Nobody sees the rain

Maybe we’re all pretending

Maybe we’re all afraid

Maybe the person in the mirror Needs a break today

I don’t need to look perfect

I don’t need another lie

If you really wanna know me

Then look behind the smile

BEHIND THE SMILE NOW YOU KNOW THE OTHER SIDE

NO FILTER, NO PRETENDING NO MORE HIDING WHAT’S INSIDE

BEHIND THE SMILE

I DON’T HAVE TO SAY I’M FINE THIS IS WHO I AM

AND I’M DONE HIDING MY LIFE

BEHIND THE SMILE YOU CAN FINALLY SEE ME NO FILTER,

NO LIE JUST THE REAL ME

(yeah yeah)

Behind the smile…

There’s a real life.
