Sad on the Inside
[SUNNY, spoken]
Smize!
[SMIZE, spoken]
Coming! Gonna just stand here smiling for a few more minutes, before I go somewhere else to... smile.
[sung]
Standing here smelling the flowers
For hours and hours
Wondering why this is something I do
I should feel perfectly sunny
With no chance of showers
They see the me that's yellow, but they never see the blue, ooh
I've been waiting for an update
To save me from myself
Wishing one day that I'll wake up
And get to be somebody else
But nothing ever changes
Maybe a different shade of rose upon my cheek
Sometimes it's even hard for me to even speak, 'cause
Sad on the inside
I'm sad on the inside
Sad on the inside
Oh, Smize!
Snap out of it! You need help
A little gratitude, instead of attitude
Just might--
'Cause it's just so great to be alive!
And what you give life's what you get out of it, right?
But right now I'm givin' all that I've got to give
Got my friends, got Sunny
It's great just to live
I should feel happy, but I just feel crappy
So I'm waiting for an update
To replace the me I hide
Erase the disconnection, the digital divide
And all of the while, my smile hides the truth
That I'm not who I'm meant to be
But that's impossible for me, 'cause
I keep tryin' to replace the lows with highs
Though I'm always wonderin' why, oh
It isn't easy being smiling face with smiling eyes
When all I wanna do is cry
When all I wanna do is cry, 'cause
Sad on the inside
I'm sad on the inside
Sad on the inside
Sad on the inside
