The awkward stage - Only good days caught on camera lyrics

rate me

We cried before and after you caught us in mid laughter

And you'd think we always laughed

But we act in every photograph and

We can never just be ourselves

We can only portray ourselves

And that is why its true the world over

We have to be told to smile

Its true the world over we have to be told to smile

And smiles are never free

Our only good days caught on camera

Are only good days caught on camera?

They sent a time capsule up into outer space

And it held our greatest accomplishments

But I think that it misrepresents

Where is the page from the diary of the teenage, heart broken, fat girl?

And where are the lynching deaths?

The road rage, the crystal meth?

And the church-fuls of monsters that kept us from loving

Whose smiles were never free

Our only good days caught on camera

Are only good days caught on camera?

And that is why its true the world over we have to be told to smile

And that is why our smiles are never free (the victors pen history)

Our only good days caught on camera

Are only good days caught on camera?<br />
