smile
I look in the mirror and try to smile
you ask me what's wrong, and with that same smile i say
nah im good, just tired
I continue my day faking this smile
becuase in our generation now, guess its bad being sad
ha aint that wrong?
have kids posting pictures of how great thier life is
but only to hide the truth of how sad it really is
im a good guy I swear I am
just tired of the heartbreaks and letdowns
man maybe its just better to not give a shit
as ive grown up ive cared too much about what people think of me
man hes fat, he dresses so gay, he has no friends
i pretend to not care
i post a picure saying #selfie with that same damn smile
oh how im tired of faking that smile
yeah beind those filters lies a kid who thinks, a kid who cries, a kid who's done with all the shit thats been thrown at him
all im asking for is a damn chance
because they never gave me that chance
a chance to show you how great i am
not just a kid with a fake ass smile
and now im going to take that chance
show them who i really am
post that picture with a smile
but no not the same smile
a real smile
saying #nofilter
because thats the only way this world needs to see me now
