Best Fake Smile
James Bay
No you don’t have to wear your best fake smile Don’t have to stand there and burn inside Oh oh oh if you don’t like it --1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1---5--------------------------- --1-3-1-3-1-3-1-3------------------------------- --2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2------------------------------- --3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ verse 1 She’s working late and making eyes at the dough She’s sick of everybody up on her floor She wants the sun in her eyes but all she gets is ignored She used to put it out and get it all back But now she’s sipping trying to carry the act She’s sweating under the lights now she’s beginning to pack No you don’t have to wear your best fake smile Don’t have to stand there and burn inside Oh oh oh if you don’t like it And you don’t have to care so don’t pretend Nobody needs a best fake friend Oh oh oh don’t hide it verse 1 No hesitation now she gets up and walks She thinks of all the pain and pride did it cost She empties all the tip jars and won’t get back what she lost Outside the window we’re two fingers to show She lifts her head I’m like some blur out of smoke She doesn’t have to look back to know where she’s gotta go No you don’t have to wear your best fake smile Don’t have to stand there and burn inside Oh oh oh if you don’t like it And you don’t have to care so don’t pretend Nobody needs a best fake friend Oh oh oh don’t hide it Bridge: If you don’t bleed it you don’t need it anymore If you don’t need it get up and leave it on the floor No more believing like it’s a voice you can’t ignore If you don’t need it you don’t need it no No you don’t have to wear your best fake smile Don’t have to stand there and burn inside Oh oh oh if you don’t like it And you don’t have to care so don’t pretend Nobody needs a best fake friend Oh oh oh don’t hide it No you don’t have to wear your best fake smile Don’t have to stand there and burn inside Oh oh oh if you don’t like it And you don’t have to care so don’t pretend Nobody needs a best fake friend Oh oh oh don’t hide it
