Plastic Smile

Put on my plastic smile
It fits just right for a while
Mirror says: You're fine
Lie to me, that's fine

Step outside, head down
Fake laughs in a paper town
Every hello's a little goodbye
Underneath, I just wanna hide

Plastic smile, painted grin
Hiding cracks deep within
No one sees, no one asks
Another day behind my mask

Coffee, work, small talk
Scripted words, robot walk
Hands in pockets, eyes to ground
Silent screams without a sound

Nod, agree, pretend, obey
How are you? I'm okay
But this skin don't fit no more
Wearing happiness like a chore

Plastic smile, painted grin
Hiding cracks deep within
No one sees, no one asks
Another day behind my mask
If I crack, would they care?
Or just replace me, anywhere?
Disposable, invisible
Life feels fictional

Plastic smile, painted grin
Hiding cracks deep within
No one sees, no one asks
Another day
Behind my mask
