James Bay - Best Fake Smile Lyrics
No you don't have to wear your best fake smileDon't have to stand there and burn inside, oh oh ohIf you don't like itShe's working late and making eyes at the doorShe's sick of everybody up on her floorShe wants the sun in her eyes but all she gets is ignoredShe used to put it out and get it all backBut now she's slipping, trying to carry the actShe's sweating under the lights, now she's beginning to crackNow you don't have to wear your best fake smileDon't have to stand there and burn inside, oh oh ohIf you don't like itAnd you don't have to care, so don't pretendNobody needs a best fake friend, oh oh ohDon't hide itNo hesitation now, she gets up and walksShe thinks of all the pain and pride that it costShe empties all the tip jars, it won't get back what she lostOutside the window with two fingers to showShe lifts her head up just to blow out the smokeShe doesn't have to look back to know where she's got to goNo you don't have to wear your best fake smileDon't have to stand there and burn inside, oh oh ohIf you don't like itAnd you don't have to care, so don't pretendNobody needs a best fake friend, oh oh ohDon't hide itIf you don't bleed itYou don't need it anymoreIf you don't need itGet up and leave it on the floorNo more believingLike it's a voice you can't ignoreIf you don't need it,You don't need it, noAnd you don't have to wear your best fake smileDon't have to stand there and burn inside, oh oh ohIf you don't like itAnd you don't have to care, so don't pretendNobody needs a best fake friend, oh oh ohDon't hide itNo you don't have to wear your best fake smileDon't have to stand there and burn inside, oh oh ohIf you don't like it, oh oh ohNo, if you don't like it
