"Smile" lyrics

"Smile"

Can't catch a break, can't hold this weight
Wear me out, tear me down, I'll tell you "I'm fine" (I'll tell you "I'm fine")
It's getting rough, I've finally had enough
To the point I'm feelin', like it'll eat me alive (It'll eat me alive)

Let's go (Let's go), do they even know? (Do they even know?)
You're giving your time up for them (You're giving your time up for them)
You're giving your life up for them (You're giving your life up for them)

Let's go (Let's go), go on and put on a show (Show)
Just fakin' a smile for them
Just fakin' a smile for them

Smile, just bear it for a while
Smile (Smile), just bear it for a while

You ask for more, but you make a mess (Make a mess)
I don't need you to add on to all my stress (All on my stress) (This is all on my stress)
Waste my time (My time), just get in line (Get in line)
With everyone who thinks it's fun to cry and whine (Cry and whine)

Let's go (Let's go), do they even know? (Do they even know?)
You're giving your time up for them (You're giving your time up for them)
You're giving your life up for them (You're giving your life up for them)

Let's go (Let's go), go on and put on a show (Show)
Just fakin' a smile for them
Just fakin' a smile for them (Just fakin' a smile for them)

Light a fire, light a fire underneath me (Light a fire underneath me)
Oh, light a fire, light a fire underneath me (Light a fire underneath me)

Let's go (Let's go), do they even know? (Do they even know?)
You're giving your time up for them (You're giving your time up for them)
You're giving your life up for them (You're giving your life up for them)

Let's go (Let's go), go on and put on a show (Show)
Just fakin' a smile for them (Just fakin' a smile for them)
Just fakin' a smile for them (Just fakin' a smile for them)

Smile (Smile), just bear it for a while (For a while)
Smile (Smile) (Just fakin' a smile), just bear it for a while (For a while)
