worlds greatest dad
Laughing (While You’re Smiling)
[Verse 1]
I’m trying to learn
The difference between love and codependence
And why it makes my insides ache
And I can’t tell if you’re something I need, or the feeling that I should shake
[Pre-Chorus]
I need to start being honest with myself
I need to start being honest with myself
I need to start being honest with myself
And how I feel
[Chorus]
Maybe if I tell myself that I’m doing fine
You would stick around
And wouldn’t mind me feeling so low
[Verse 2]
I’m trying to stop
Focusing on the bad parts of my head
Because I know how it feels
To be on the receiving end of it
[Pre-Chorus]
I need to start taking care of myself
I need to start taking care of myself
I need to start taking care of myself
I need to start taking care of myself
And how I feel
[Chorus]
Maybe if I tell myself that I’m doing fine
You would stick around
And wouldn’t mind me feeling so low
It gets so fucking old, and I’m getting too old
[Bridge]
I’m bitter now, but one day I won’t be
I’ll be sitting at a party, laughing while you’re smiling, it’s all…
And I’m angry now, but one day I won’t be
I’ll be holding your hand, swearing I’m happy
I’m happy, I’m happy, I’m happy, I’m home
