“Fake a smile baby”
It’s time to seek happiness
The wild laughter that followed a kitchen dance party
I know another boy broke your heart
Saying he’d be the man to love you
You deserved for every promise to be kept
You deserve the excitement of going to concerts to feel alive
You deserve to travel the world with someone who will keep you safe
Not give you black eyes for calling them out
You’ll be okay baby
You’ve always been alone
Look at all of the life you’ve lived
Because you never backed down
And gave in when they tried to bury you
Under the sand of their own shame
Even your family doused you with gasoline before lighting you up
But you’ll be okay baby
One step at a time
There will be love
There will be pain
But it’ll be okay
Even if you fake that smile
Until you’re you again
