Thousand Below – Fake Smile lyrics

[Intro]
Show your teeth, show your teeth
They can all look but they won't see
You're the only one
Who knows where to find me

[Verse 1]
Even when I feel the night going slow
You find a way to get your words to me
And I just try to block it all out
'Cause "let it go's" all that you say to me
So can you say something stronger now?
Say what I need?
Could you say that you're sorry now
In the tongue that you keep speaking?

[Pre-Chorus]
But you could find a halo
And it wouldn't change a thing
What the hell do you know?
Let it go is all that you say to me

[Chorus]
Show your teeth, show your teeth
They can all look but they won't see
You're the only one
Who knows where to find me
So just find me alone instead
Count all the days I spend
Breaking the bones I bend
The feeling is real but the smile, the smile is fake

[Verse 2]
And now your empathy
Seems reserved for someone else
And though it hurts to say, I miss the way
You made me see myself
But I've watched your gaze decay away
Into an empty stare
And even though you understand me still
It doesn't mean you care

[Pre-Chorus]
But you could find a halo
And it wouldn't change a thing
What the hell do you know?
Let it go is all that you say to me

[Chorus]
Show your teeth, show your teeth
They can all look but they won't see
You're the only one
Who knows where to find me
So just find me alone instead
Count all the days I spend
Breaking the bones I bend
The feeling is real but the smile, the smile is fake

[Bridge]
The smile is faker, the future is bleaker
I'm running out of things to hold on to
Your face in the moment is all that I see and
I hate the way I feel when I'm with you
'Cause the world keeps spinning and you keep singing
That I should just cover up and I'm sick of it

[Chorus]
Show your teeth, show your teeth
They can all look but they won't see
You're the only one
Who knows where to find me
So just find me alone instead
Count all the days I spend
Breaking the bones I bend
The feeling is real but the smile, the smile is fake

[Outro]
Find me alone instead
Count all the days I spend
Breaking the bones I bend
