Fake Smiles Lyrics by Sam Collie

One Eye Open

2022

[Verse 1]
So caught up on today
I forgot three hundred sixty-four remain
And if water composes three quarters of my brain
What is left of these tears that fall to the earth like rain
[Chorus]
Oh can’t you see this weight is far too much for me
And it shows, woe is me in this world inside my phone
Let me go, and you’ll see all that we could be
Lord knows it’s not easy to pretend that we’re happy
[Verse 2]
Got addicted to the pain
And those withdrawals clung to my body like ketchup stains
And if a car swerved directly into my lane
Would I turn or succumb to this pressure inside my veins
[Chorus]
Oh can’t you see this weight is far too much for me
And it shows, woe is me in this world inside my phone
Let me go, and you’ll see all that we could be
Lord knows it’s not easy to pretend that we’re happy
[Bridge]
So paint this smile upon my face
The only thing that keeps me sane
I know that love is prone to change
And hopes we had were all in vain
Paint this smile upon my face
The only thing that keeps me sane
I know that love is prone to change
And hopes we had were all in vain
[Chorus]
Oh can’t you see this weight is far too much for me
And it shows, woe is me in this world inside my phone
Let me go, and you’ll see all that we could be
Lord knows it’s not easy to pretend that we’re happy
