Lyrics James Bay – Best Fake Smile
Text:
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
She’s working late and making eyes at the door
She wants the sun in her eyes but all she gets is ignored
She used to put it out and get it all back
But now she’s slipping trying to carry the act
She’s sweating under the lights, now she’s beginning to crack
Woah
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
And you don’t have to care so don’t pretend
Nobody needs a best fake friend
Oh oh oh don’t hide it
No hesitation now she gets up and walks
She thinks of all the pain and pride that it cost
She empties all the tip jars and won’t get back what she lost
Outside the window with two fingers to show
She lifts her head up just to blow out the smoke
She doesn’t have to look back to know where she’s gotta go
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
And you don’t have to care so don’t pretend
Nobody needs a best fake friend
Oh oh oh don’t hide it
If you don’t bleed it you don’t need it anymore
If you don’t need it get up and leave it on the floor
If you don’t need it you don’t need it no
And you don’t have to wear your best fake smile
Don’t have to stand there and burn inside
Oh oh oh no if you don’t like it
And you don’t have to care so don’t pretend
Nobody needs a best fake friend
Oh oh oh don’t hide it
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
Oh oh oh no if you don’t like it
