Stolen Smiles

I was a wallflower, i still don't dance
But I chopped off my hair and gave life a second chance
I felt that others all around me, they seem much more astounding,
I found that I still feel a bit more down being
I was a stupid teenager, and I still am
I thought the pretty girls that I saw on Instagram
Were happier cause they seem perfect
I covered my worth with a smile
From each and everyone of them
I didn't realize until I closed my own two eyes
And woke up sad again
You cant steal a smile from another
To cover your frown cause you'll still be down
Don't act like another to cover your sadness
Your smile will come around

I was into debating, and I still am
I argued my way to make my voice heard where I stand
But when I did not have that distraction
My sadness took quick action I borrowed a laugh to cover my sorrow
I was a fireball and I don't underestimate
The things I'll do to do the things that make me feel great
But I still try to be someone else when I'm not being myself
I don't know how much more I can pretend
I didn't realize until I closed my own two eyes
And woke up sad again
You cant steal a smile from another
To cover your frown cause you'll still be down
Don't act like another to cover your sadness
Your smile will come around

That's what I tell myself

But I still to dress myself in others' confidence
I wear someone else's smile so I can cover up my own frown
I dream the perfect day with my eyes closed but wake up
And I don't know why I can't be happy with my eyes open
My eyes open
My eyes open
My eyes open
My eyes open
My eyes open
My eyes open
My eyes open

But I still fill my head with insults angry words
Where confidence should be is sadness filling up inside me
So I dress myself in others confidence I want to be myself
But wear their smiles to cover up my frown

Woah woah- oh oo oh woah- oh oo oh woah- oh oo oh
Woah woah- oh oo oh woah- oh oo oh woah- oh oo oh

You cant steal a smile from another
To cover your frown cause you'll still be down
Don't act like another to cover your sadness
Your smile will come around
Your smile will come around
