Always

Smiling all the time
"Proves that you're okay"
That's what people think
But it isn't that way

I smile when I'm sad
I smile instead of crying
I smile so you think I'm okay
Even when I think of dying

I have to pretend for you
Almost Everyday
It's become a routine
It just has to be this way

How would you feel
If I dropped the fake smile?
And told you that I
Haven't felt right in awhile

How would you feel
If you saw all my cuts?
If I tore them open
You'd think I was nuts

You ask if I'm okay out of obligation
Not because you care
It wouldn't be any different
If I wasn't there

So I'll smile for you
And act like I'm okay
It's become a daily thing
And it'll always be this way
