Lyrics

[INTRO]
Oh, you think you know me?
With every grin, I wear,
But deep inside, I'm screaming,
Can you hear my silent prayer?

[VERSE 1]
Waking up, I paint my face,
Trapped in this masquerade,
Every laugh a perfect trace,
While shadows in me cascade.
Walking through the crowded halls,
With walls I can't break through,
My heart is held like prison walls,
In a world I can’t undo.

[CHORUS]
Oh, fake smiles is what you see,
A portrait of who I pretend to be,
But inside I'm crumbling, can’t you see?
Just want to vanish and feel free.

[VERSE 2]
Scrolling through the endless feeds,
Comparing ghosts we chase,
But behind the scenes, the heart bleeds,
In this never-ending race.
Every “like” is not enough,
To mask the pain I hide,
These polished dreams can’t feel this rough,
Against the hurt inside.

[CHORUS]
Oh, fake smiles is what you see,
A portrait of who I pretend to be,
But inside I'm crumbling, can’t you see?
Just want to vanish and feel free.

[BRIDGE]
If you look deeper, you will find,
The scars hidden in my smile,
A tangled mind, a restless heart,
Oh, I’ve been lost for a while.
But I’m learning to break away,
From the chains I’ve worn too long,
With every tear, I’m finding strength,
I’m ready to break into song.

[CHORUS]
Oh, fake smiles is what you see,
A portrait of who I pretend to be,
But inside I'm crumbling, can’t you see?
Just want to vanish and feel free.

[OUTRO]
So here I stand, no more disguise,
Taking off this painted mask,
With open arms, I will arise,
In my heart, truth is the task.
Oh, no more fake smiles, no more seams,
I’ll break the silence, share my dreams.
In this battle, I will be—
The person I was meant to be.
