I love making you believe What you get is what you see But I'm so fake happy I feel so fake happy And I bet everybody here Is just as insincere We're all so fake happy And I know fake happy I been doing a good job of makin' 'em think I'm quite alright But I hope I don't blink You see its easy when I'm stomping on a beat But no one sees me when I crawl back underneath If I smile with my teeth Bet you believe me If I smile with my teeth I think I believe me Oh please don't ask me how I've been Don't make me play pretend Oh no, oh what's the use Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too And if I go out tonight, dress up my fears You think I'll look alright with these mascara tears? See I'm gonna draw my lipstick wider than my mouth And if the lights are low they'll never see me frown If I smile with my teeth Bet you believe me If I smile with my teeth I think I believe me Oh please don't ask me how I've been Don't make me play pretend Oh no, oh oh what's the use? Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too I know I said that I was doing good and that I'm happy now Oh oh I should've known that when things are going good thats when I get knocked down Oh please, just don't ask me how I've been Don't make me play pretend Oh no, oh no Oh what's the use? Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too
