Fake a Smile

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Pick up the pieces I want you to see this To feel it, 'cause it shimmers in the dark Dancing in circles, in silence More beautiful than diamonds And it's breaking me apart [Pre-Chorus] And I've waited all my life For a stage to speak my mind It's a crystal clear vision And I'm afraid of what they'll say If they see me in this way So I tell myself [Chorus] To fake a smile Carry on Head up high Like nothing's wrong And dress it up And play pretend Forever young Like the party never ends [Verse 2] If you could only see what lurks beneath this feeling A creature so strangе, it crawls up on my ceiling And I scream, but it's no use So maybе there's a day I wake up from this fever Take a look at myself, I finally get to meet her There's a beauty in her truth [Pre-Chorus] And I've waited all my life For a stage to speak my mind It's a crystal clear vision And I'm afraid of what they'll say If they see me in this way So I tell myself [Chorus] To fake a smile Carry on Head up high Like nothing's wrong And dress it up And play pretend Forever young Like the party never ends [Post-Chorus] Oh, oh, oh, oh [Bridge] And it just keeps creeping on in I think it's 'bout to begin Here it goes, feel my breath lose control And it doesn't get better than this This is my only one wish And I know, got to put on a show [Chorus] To fake a smile (Carry on) Carry on Head up high (Like nothing's wrong) Like nothing's wrong Dress it up And play pretend Forever young Like the party never ends [Outro] No, the party never ends The party never ends No, the party never ends
