smile for the picture (with Ivory)

Smile for the picture
Smile for the picture that's what they say
Smile for the picture
Smile for the picture that's what they say
They don't care how you feel in real life
They just wanna believe all the lies
So smile, smile for the picture
For the picture, smile for the picture

I've been on the run from myself for too long now
I don't know where I'm headed but I think it's the wrong trail
I can't even seem to put my mind at ease
Now I'm caught in a trance and now I can't sleep
Oh, I've been tryna call, I've been tryna call
But I hit a wall and I bounced back
Fall, Feel like I could fall, Feel like I could
Yeah, hold up

Fucked up head but I still pour a cup 'til the sun up
And that ain't gonna change
I'm a liar to myself but I can't seem to trust no-one else
So don't try it, So don't try it

They say smile the picture, it's a picture I'm not in
You say you moving on but it cuts so deep, I'm just a friend (yeah, hey)
Mixed messages, I just gotta pretend
Professional liar to myself, I just can't ever win

Been too many months waiting, this time you said it'd be different
Still waiting on that lie confront it you just won't listen
In the end, when you're gone, it's my heart you'll be missing
Wanna commit but it's a risk and I'm too scared to go risk it
Picture perfect, so many lies going on beyond the screen
That ain't you but it's a lie that both of us believe
Disappeared from all the photos and now I'm gone
Guess you never moved on so all I can say is

Smile for the picture
Smile for the picture that's what they say
Smile for the picture
Smile for the picture that's what they say
They don't care how you feel in real life
They just wanna believe all the lies
So smile, smile for the picture
For the picture, smile for the picture
