Painted Smile

I paint a smile and pretend,
Pretend that I'm okay,
I must be pretty good at it,
Cause no one notices I'm not.

This painted smile upon my face,
Is what gets me through the days.
Everyone thinks I'm happy,
But what do they know anyway.

I'm just a good actress,
Without a movie screen.
Pretending to be happy,
When anyone looks at me.

No one sees behind my fake smile,
And can tell that it's not real.
They all think I'm really happy,
And think they know how I feel.
