Stolen Smiles

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I didn't realize until I closed my own two eyes
And woke up sad again
You can't 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
I didn't realize until I closed my own two eyes
And woke up sad again
You can't 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

[Bridge]
That's what I tell myself
But I still 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, ooh, oh
Woah, oh, ooh, oh
Woah, oh, ooh, oh
Woah, woah, oh, ooh, oh
Woah, oh, ooh, oh
Woah, oh, ooh, oh

[Chorus]
You can't 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
