Fake Smile
She's here at the bar and she's drinking alone
Her friends in the car and they're ready to go
Doesn't drink when she's happy and right now, she's down
She's betting on karma to come back around
She said my demons got demons
And my tears, they got reasons
And the bartender came to interrupt
I started thinking as he filled up her cup
I just met a girl with a fake smile
Said she ain't been good in a great while
Tryna get ahead, but she keeps on stumbling
Hard to live in a world that's crumbling
I just met a girl with a fake smile
Said she got to laugh so she don't cry
Tryna get ahead, but she keeps on stumbling
Hard to live in a world that's crumbling, oh
It takes one to know one, it takes one to know
It takes one to know one, I know how it goes
I've been caught in the spiral and living a lie
When every breath is like a twist of the knife
She said my demons got demons
And my tears, they got reasons
And the bartender came to interrupt
I started thinking as he filled up her cup
I just met a girl with a fake smile
Said she ain't been good in a great while
Tryna get ahead, but she keeps on stumbling
Hard to live in a world that's crumbling
I just met a girl with a fake smile
Said she got to laugh so she don't cry (don't cry)
Tryna get ahead, but she keeps on stumbling
Hard to live in a world that's crumbling, oh
She said she needs someone to hold
She said the world keeps getting colder
I told her I know how it goes
I told her I know how it goes
It's getting late, I'm going home
Started to leave and then I told her
I know it's hard to be alone
Hope it gets better down the road, yeah, yeah, yeah
