I just gotta fake happy
For today
Put on a big smile
For everyone to see
Big and bright
Nice and wide
Make it reach my eyes
Just pretend it's all okay
Drown it out
Swollow it down
Then flush it away
Pretend there's not a hurricane
Raging inside, be full of pride
Don't let them see it in your eyes
Fake it just one more time
It's okay to bottle it up
And keep it to yourself
Don't complain, you have no right
Hide what hurts until the night
When dusk falls and all is calm
Then release your torrent
Let all those things
People refuse to see
Come rushing like waves
From the darkest of deep
Within comes out
Everything you hide
Can finally take flight
As you finish faking happy
