"Little Miss Sunshine" lyrics

Took me way too long to figure out
The existential dread that you've been feeling
I never realized how your smile disappears
When no one's watching
But you play the part well
Your mother can't tell
That something's heavy on your heart
Took me way too long to figure out
The worry and self doubt that you've been holding

Because I know you
And I know when you're sad
The tears in your eyes reflecting your past
Is the weight of the world on your shoulders?
I'll take half of your demons for you
Because I know you
Like the back of my hand
You're so easy to read but I don't understand
Why you always have to hide your darkness behind
Little Miss Sunshine

You're telling jokes again to hide
The underlying pain that haunts your being
You can't use humor to deflect an honest feeling
Tell me who you fooling?
You're losing yourself
Your father can't tell
'Cause you're his perfect little girl
It's time take care of yourself
Instead of everybody else, my darling

Because I know you
And I know when you're sad
The tears in your eyes reflecting your past
Is the weight of the world on your shoulders?
I'll take half of your demons for you
Because I know you
Like the back of my hand
You're so easy to read but I don't understand
Why you always have to hide your darkness behind
Little Miss Sunshine

Ooh...

Because I know you
Like the back of my hand
You're so easy to read but I don't understand
Why you always have to hide your darkness behind
Little Miss Sunshine
