Testo Fake A Smile

Pick up the pieces
I want you to see this
To feel it, cause it shimmers in the dark
Dancing in circles, in silence
More beautiful than diamonds
And it’s breaking me apart

And I’ve waited all my life For a stage to speak my mind
It’s a crystal clear vision
And I’m afraid of what they’ll say
If they see me in this way
So I tell myself

To fake a smile
Carry on
Head up high
Like nothing’s wrong
And dress it up
And play pretend
Forever young
Like the party never ends
If you could only see what lurks beneath this feeling
A creature so strangе
It crawls up on my ceiling
And I scream, but it’s no use
So maybе there’s a day
I wake up from this fever
Take a look at myself
I finally get to meet her
There’s a beauty in her truth

And I’ve waited all my life
For a stage to speak my mind
It’s a crystal clear vision
And I’m afraid of what they’ll say
If they see me in this way
So I tell myself

To fake a smile
Carry on
Head up high
Like nothing’s wrong
And dress it up
And play pretend
Forever young
Like the party never ends

Oh, oh, oh, oh

And it just keeps creeping on in
I think it's 'bout to begin
Here it goes
Feel my breath lose control
And it doesn’t get better than this
This is my only one wish
And I know, got to put on a show

To fake a smile
Carry on
Head up high
Like nothing’s wrong
And dress it up
And play pretend
Forever young
Like the party never ends

No, the party never ends
The party never ends
No, the party never ends
