Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I love making you believe
What you get is what you see
But I'm so fake happy
I feel so fake happy
[Verse 2]
And I'll bet everybody here
Is just as insincere
We're all so fake happy
And I know fake happy
[Verse 3]
So I've been doing a good job
Of making them think
I'm quite alright
But I hope I don't blink
[Verse 4]
You see, it's easy when I'm stomping on a beat
But no one sees me when I crawl back underneath, hey
[Verse 5]
If I smile with my teeth
Bet you'd believe me
If I smile with my teeth
Think I'd believe me
[Verse 6]
Oh, please don't ask me how I've been
Don't make me play pretend
Oh no, oh what's the use?
Oh, please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too
[Verse 7]
And if I go out tonight
Dress up my fears
You think I'd look alright
With these mascara tears?
[Verse 8]
See, I'm gonna draw my lipstick wider than my mouth
And if the lights are low, they'll never see me frown, hey
[Verse 9]
If I smile with my teeth
Bet you'd believe me
If I smile with my teeth
Think I'd believe me
[Verse 10]
Oh, please don't ask me how I've been
Don't make me play pretend
Oh no, oh, oh what's the use?
Oh, please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too
[Verse 11]
I know I said that I was doing good
And that I'm happy now (Ooh)
I shoulda known when things were going good
That's when I get knocked down
[Verse 12]
Oh, please just don't ask me how I've been
Don't make me play pretend
Oh no, oh what's the use?
Oh, please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too
[Verse 13]
(Oh, please)
(Oh, please)
Oh, please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too
