Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(After laughter comes tears)
(After laughter comes tears)
[Verse 2]
Yeah, another night, another party
Sayin' hi to everybody, I'm sorry
It's time to leave, I gotta leave now
Got somewhere I gotta be now
I'm starving
[Verse 3]
Can somebody walk me to my car?
If I go alone, I'm not gon' make it very far
Happy for the love and all of the above
If I'm being honest, I done been through way too much
[Verse 4]
I can't fake another smile
I can't fake like I'm alright
Woo, woo
[Verse 5]
And I won't say I'm feelin' fine
After what I've been through, I can't lie
Woo, baby, woo
[Verse 6]
Fuck a fake smile, smile
Fuck a fake smile, fake smile
[Verse 7]
I read the things they write about me
Hear what they're sayin' on the TV
It's crazy
It's gettin' hard for them to shock me
But every now and then, it's shocking
Don't blame me
[Verse 8]
I know it's the life that I chose
Baby, I'm grateful, I want you to know
I'm happy for the love and all of the above
If I'm being honest, I done been through way too much
[Verse 9]
I can't fake another smile
I can't fake like I'm alright
Woo, baby, woo, ugh
[Verse 10]
And I won't say I'm feelin' fine
After what I've been through, I can't lie
Baby, yeah
Woo, let's go
[Verse 11]
Fuck a fake
Fuck a fake
[Verse 12]
Say If I'm hurt, I ain't gon' lie about it
Arms crossed with the attitude, lips pouted
If I'm mad, I ain't gon' lie about it
Neck roll with the attitude, yeah
[Verse 13]
(If I'm hurt, I ain't gon' lie about it)
(Arms crossed with the attitude, lips pouted)
(If I'm mad, I ain't gon' lie about it)
(Neck roll with the attitude, yeah)
[Verse 14]
So I can't fake another smile
I can't fake like I'm alright
Woo (Woo)
[Verse 15]
And I won't say I'm feelin' fine
After what I've been through, I can't lie
Woo
Dublin, throw your hands up the sky, come on
[Verse 16]
Fuck a fake smile, smile
Fuck a fake smile, fake smile
