Life's not fair we have to learn this
From our brains our smarts and wits
I found out this little hit or miss
Read between the lines the parentheses
It often gets beneath my skin
When they ask me of my lovely grin
How I keep it it's a deadly sin
I hold it up with two safety pins
Oh they say
How do you smile when you're feeling sad
How do you smile when you're feeling bad
How do you smile when you're feeling mad
Oh how do you smile when you're feeling sad
How do you smile when you're feeling down
How do you smile when you wanna drown
How do you smile when you wanna frown
Oh how do you smile when you're feeling down
Laughed at when I try to fit in
They stabbed me with some scissors it broke the skin
Frowned upon by my very own kin
I start to cry and my brain starts to spin
It often gets beneath my skin
When it's asked of my lovely grin
How I keep it it's a deadly sin
I hold it up with two safety pins
Oh they say
How do you smile when you're feeling sad
How do you smile when you're feeling bad
How do you smile when you're feeling mad
Oh how do you smile when you're feeling sad
How do you smile when you're feeling down
How do you smile when you wanna drown
How do you smile when you wanna frown
Oh how do you smile when you're feeling down
Sometimes I just don't want to smile
I want to lower every once in a while
I feel the resentment rising like bile
To the creature that'd sewed my smile
Oh they say
How do you smile when you wanna cry
How do you smile when you wanna die
How do you smile even through your lies
Oh how do you smile smile all the time
How do you wanna when you're feeling sad
How do you wanna when you're feeling bad
How do you wanna when you're feeling mad
And oh do you wanna when you're feeling sad
How do you smile smile all the time
How do you smile smile through the lies
Smile, smile, smile wanna cry
Oh smile smile I really wanna die
