Fake Smiles Lyrics

I used to drink until the memories of us would fade

Stupid how I thought that that's the way that I would change

I can move mountains but you're standing in my way

Laughters the best medicine and smiles ease the pain but theses fake smiles

Got me lashing out and saying things I shouldn't say

Got me burning bridges down that were so hard to walk across

Got me in my feelings now my peers use to manipulate

Me with hopes to watch me slip and watch me fall

But look at me now

Look at the features and look at the crowds

Look at the people who spoke on my name with the foulest intention

Who now put a foot in their mouth

Say I play victim cause I cut them off like a hang nail now it's ironic

Cause they point the finger at me I'm the one who they're talking about

Oh lord

Got these fake smiles around me everyday now

Got these people talking bout me what they say's foul

Sometimes the people that you'd take a bullet for are the ones

That got you aimed down

Oh lord

Got these fake smiles around me everyday now

Got these people talking bout me what they say's foul

Sometimes the people that you'd take a bullet for are the ones

That got you aimed down

I used to write until the memories of us were gone

Crazy how I thought that that's the way that Id move on

Wounds are bound to heal but remains are all these scars

If laughter's the best medicine then my smile's not too strong

Cause these fake smiles surround me they empower all my guilt

But I wear mistakes proudly like I'm captain with his shield

And to say I run from problems is like saying I don't feel

I just chose to drop these people who exacerbate my will

You're unsatisfied with life so you just cling to mine

You put all these walls up but to me you're just a glass house I can see inside

Funny how your girl says I'm the bad guy

When the truth is she don't know the man she sleeps beside

Please advise that I took a step back to redefine

Who's a priority versus who's tortures my peace of mind

I'm not avoiding things I just made choices that you don't agree with

But honestly I am just done with your ego and trying to feed it

If life is a journey that we design

I get the privilege who joins me who gets to see it

Oh lord

Got these fake smiles around me everyday now

Got these people talking bout me what they say's foul

Sometimes the people that you'd take a bullet for are the ones

That got you aimed down

Oh lord

Got these fake smiles around me everyday now

Got these people talking bout me what they say's foul

Sometimes the people that you'd take a bullet for are the ones

That got you aimed down

Why explain myself when your goal's to misunderstand me

Why go so in depth over feelings you keep devaluing

Why should I waste my breath on this message that you keep doubting

And why should I hear you out when your judgement is more than cloudy

It's flawed broken fraudulent lost

It's always caught up in women how much that this or that cost's

I put my life in this music I put my life in my palm

Your put your life in that bottle then pin up right on your instagram wall

See all these fakes smile

Got me living less allusive while I read between the lines

Got me walking straight narrow but I'm speaking out spite

Got me hearing such an earful I'm the man that you don't like

All I ask is that you please make up your mind

Cause when I was drunk all you did was look down on me

Then I got sober and cleaned up my act now you laugh at me

Talking sarcastically Gossip all causally

Scoff and take jabs at me when I'm not there

Praying for days I fall off no one catches me

Taxing my patience and taxing my sanity

I am so sick of these fake smiles that keep surrounding me

Oh lord

Got these fake smiles around me everyday now

Got these people talking bout me what they say's foul

Sometimes the people that you'd take a bullet for are the ones

That got you aimed down

Oh lord

Got these fake smiles around me everyday now

Got these people talking bout me what they say's foul

Sometimes the people that you'd take a bullet for are the ones

That got you aimed down

Oh lord

I got these fake smiles around me everyday now

Got these people talking bout me what they say's foul

Sometimes the people that you'd take a bullet for are the ones

That got you aimed down
