James Bay - Best Fake Smile lyrics

rate me

(Intro)

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

(Verse)

She’s workin' late and makings eyes at the door

She’s sick of everybody up on her floor

She’s sweatin' under the lights and she got nothin' more

She used to put it out and get it all back

But now she slipped inside a comedy act

She’s sweatin' under the lights and she’s beginnin' to cry

(Chorus)

No, u don’t have to wear ur best fake smile

Don't have to stand there and burn inside

Oh-oh-oh, if u don’t like it

And u don't have to care, so don't pretend

Nobody need a best fake friend oh-oh-oh don't hide it

(Verse 2)

No hesitation, now she gets up and walks

She thinks of all the pain and the pride that it costs

She empties all the tip jar and don't get back what she lost

Outside the windows with two fingers to show

She lifts her head up just to blind the smoke

She doesn't have to look back to know where she’s got to go

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

If u don't bleed, u don't need it anymore

If u don't need it, get up and leave it on the floor

No more believin' like its a voice u cant ignore

If u don't bleed, u don't need it no

(Chorus)
