It's funny

How so many people

Are fooled

By a smile

A laugh

A hand on their shoulder

"I'm just fine"

It's funny

How smiles

Are the best type of costume

How so many people

Would rather believe

The happy lie

Than the awful truth

Because

They don't ever want to think

There's anything wrong

They want to think

You're okay

They want to think

You're coping

Even when you're not

Don't they look into my eyes

And see the pain

And the sadness

And the longing

Don't they ever see?

Why are they always fooled

By a fake smile?
