"Fake A Smile" lyrics

Alan Walker & Salem Ilese Lyrics

"Fake A Smile"

You and I up all night
Nothing's wrong, nothing's right
I swear these walls are upside down
I swear the roof is on the ground
Demons don't sleep at night
Oh, oh, oh

I try to turn off my mind
Say I'm doing just fine
But I'm screaming inside like (Oh)
Say these words on repeat
While I'm tryin' to breathe
Now you're counting on me

So I fake a smile
But I know you know me too well
But it's alright
You're like heaven when I'm in hell

You were their heavy heart
Tasted light but fed the dark
I'm waiting for them all to see
I don't deserve your company
To love myself is way too hard
Oh, oh, oh

I try to turn off my mind
Say I'm doing just fine
But I'm screaming inside like (Oh)
Say these words on repeat
While I'm tryin' to breathe
Now you're counting on me

So I fake a smile
But I know you know me too well
But it's alright
You're like heaven when I'm in hell

No sleep, no sleep
It's alright, it's alright
No sleep, no sleep

So I fake a smile
But I know you know me too well
But it's alright
You're like heaven when I'm in hell
So I fake a smile
But I know you know me too well
But it's alright
You're like heaven when I'm in hell

So I fake a smile
But I know you know me too well
But it's alright
You're like heaven when I'm in hell

I'm so excited to finally share my latest single with you all alongside the super talented @salem ilese. Our journey may have been paused at moments last year, but you've all shown that not even the worst can break this community. Thank you for being there for me and more importantly for each other. While we wait for the day to be together in person again, I hope this song resonates with you. You are not alone."
This track is the first collaboration between Alan Walker and Salem Ilese. The latter told about it, "For me, this is a song about the people in your life who have the power to pull you out of your darkest moments, the people you hold closest to your heart.
