Don’t Tell Me to Smile
And what you see is not my face
It's not my face
It's just a shadow of my soul
All my emotions is what you get
Just an illusion you'll never forget
It's not my eyes
Just a reflection
It's not my mouth
Telling you to get away away
It's not my face
It's not my fault
It's not my arms pushing you away away away
Don't tell me to smile now
Don't you tell me to smile
With all my teeth
For your picture now
I was never the pretty one
I was always the sad one
But as long as I wear my red shoes
I'll be just fine
Don't tell me to smile now
And what you see is not my face
It's not my face
It's just the shadow of my soul
Oh my depression is what you get
A disillusion I'll never forget
Don't get so lost into perfection
And all the cracks gotta love them all and all the way
Gotta let me feel
You gotta love my tears
If it's not the case
Better get away away away
Don't tell me to smile now
