Songtekst

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's sick of everybody up on her floor
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 they caused
She emptied 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 when 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
No more believing
Like it's a voice you can't ignore
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

And 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
