Fake A Smile

Pick up the pieces

I want you to see this

To feel it, 'cause it shimmers in the dark

Dancing in circles, in silence

More beautiful than diamonds

And it's breaking me apart

And I've waited all my life

For a stage to speak my mind

It's a crystal clear vision

And I'm afraid of what they'll say

If they see me in this way

So I tell myself

To fake a smile

Carry on

Head up high

Like nothing's wrong

And dress it up

And play pretend

Forever young

Like the party never ends

If you could only see what lurks beneath this feeling

A creature so strange, it crawls up on my ceiling

And I scream, but it's no use

So maybe there's a day I wake up from this fever

Take a look at myself, I finally get to meet her

There's a beauty in her truth

And I've waited all my life

For a stage to speak my mind

It's a crystal clear vision

And I'm afraid of what they'll say

If they see me in this way

So I tell myself

To fake a smile

Carry on

Head up high

Like nothing's wrong

And dress it up

And play pretend

Forever young

Like the party never ends

And it just keeps creeping on in

I think it's 'bout to begin

Here it goes, feel my breath lose control

And it doesn't get better than this

This is my only one wish

And I know, got to put on a show

To fake a smile (Carry on)

Carry on

Head up high (Like nothing's wrong)

Like nothing's wrong

Dress it up

And play pretend

Forever young

Like the party never ends

No, the party never ends

The party never ends

No, the party never ends
