I love making you believe What you get is what you see But I’m so fake happy I feel so fake happy And I bet everybody here Is just as insincere We’re all so fake happy And I know fake happy Verso 1: I been doing a good job of makin’ ’em think I’m quite alright but I hope I don’t blink You see its easy when I’m stomping on a beat But no one sees me when I crawl back underneath If I smile with my teeth bet you believe me If I smile with my teeth I think I believe me Oh please don’t ask me how I’ve been Don’t make me play pretend oh no oh what’s the use Oh please I bet everybody here is fake happy too () Verso 2: And if I go out tonight dress up my fears You think I’ll look alright with these mascara tears? See I’m gonna draw my lipstick wider than my mouth And if the lights are low they’ll never see me frown If I smile with my teeth bet you believe me If I smile with my teeth I think I believe me Oh please don’t ask me how I’ve been Don’t make me play pretend oh no oh what’s the use Oh please I bet everybody here is fake happy too Ponte: I know I said that I was doing good and that I’m happy now I should’ve known when things are going good that’s when I get knocked down Oh please don’t ask me how I’ve been Don’t make me play pretend oh no oh what’s the use Oh please I bet everybody here is fake happy too Final: Oh please oh please Oh please I bet everybody here is fake happy too

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque le sentiment de fausse joie que l'on affiche pour cacher ses véritables émotions. Elle parle de ce paradoxe où, malgré les sourires et l'apparente confiance, chacun lutte en réalité avec ses propres démons, dissimulant ses peurs et ses doutes derrière un masque. C'est un reflet de notre société actuelle, où la pression de toujours sembler bien peut conduire à une insincérité générale. Les paroles mettent en lumière la difficulté de s'ouvrir et de se montrer vulnérable, tout en ayant l'impression que tout le monde autour de soi fait de même. Ce constat soulève des questions sur notre authenticité et notre capacité à partager nos véritables sentiments.
