Fake a Smile Lyrics by Mia Wray

hi it’s nice to meet me

2024

[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
If you could only see what lurks beneath this feeling
A creature so strangе, it crawls up on my ceiling
And I scream, but it's no use
So maybе 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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
No, the party never ends
The party never ends
No, the party never ends
