so everyone sees me
as that happy girl
the one always smiling
in the perfect world
except for you
you saw all the pain
you knew all my secrets
i told you without refrain
but now when we talk
i notice something new
i fake a little laugh
it's not what i used to do
the good and the bad
you knew it all
but now i feel like
you don't know me at all
i suppose it's my fault
for pretending to be happy
but i just can't help it
cause happy's what you want me to be
it's just a little difficult
the months apart seem too hard to mend
but one's not supposed to fake a smile
around one's best friend
