" Smile ! " They tell her everyday
" But I try ! " is the answer they get
She's got all the reasons in the world
To be angry all the time at everyone
" Get out ! " when trying to befriend
" But why ? " is spinning 'round her head
Sometimes when you think of all the pain she feels
It's hard to know that she is all alone to face it
" Why does it seem so easy for everyone, everyone but me ?
It's like everything around here is falling apart
Yeah but me, I try to understand who I'm supposed to be
A smile's too much for me "
" Don't cry ! " she repeats to herself
But tears on the face, is that all she'll ever get ?
A way out is what she wants today
But no one's gonna take her by the hand, oh no
" Why does it seem so easy for everyone, everyone but me ?
It's like everything around here is falling apart
Yeah but me, I try to understand what I'm supposed to be
A smile's too much for me "
" Too much for me (too much for me)
Maybe my body's talking to me but I'll never ever listen, never ever listen
When I see your smile it makes me wanna do the same
Everyday they tell me so but it's too much for me "
