Competition Smile

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Looking up, I saw nothing but blue in the bluest sky And now it's creeping across my eye Going down in my mind, down in my mind I'm high and I'm hopeless, so help me to get untied Fast asleep, now I'm going blind Falling down in my mind, down in my mind just fine [Chorus] Emulate the style A competition smile [Verse 2] Now I'm running, not looking and opening up my brain Where it's easy to lose my name Looking dumb in the rain, dumb in the rain I'm hoping you'll notice that no one else helps me grow Oh, it's not easy to let you know What I'm dying to show, dying, but, oh, you know [Chorus] Pretending all the while A competition smile [Bridge] Now I've thrown something far And it haunts me like a curse I'm like a stone falling hard And I'm only getting worse [Verse 3] Looking up, I saw nothing but blue in the bluest sky And now it's creeping across my eye And going down in my mind, down in my mind I'm high and I'm hopeless, so help me to get untied Fast asleep, now I'm going blind Falling down in my mind, down in my mind just fine [Chorus] Pretending all the while A competition smile [Outro] I'm hiding high Hiding high
