Smile

Tik tok goes the clock Five minutes till it's time Look back at the reflection You don't recognize Smile even if happiness ain't what you feel Make it look real Tik tok goes the clock Three minutes till the show Make them laugh make them feel like They're not so alone Distract, divert their attention from their pain Take it away Watch the stands fill up with all the people Waiting for you to make them feel good Make sure they don't get bored so they don't leave you Won't you just smile All eyes on you Yeah, it's your job to Bring genuine smiles to everyone's faces But they have no clue What goes on behind that mask of yours Yours So make them laugh yeah Make their day Joke about your pain to make them feel ok They call you the clown for making living life worthwhile At the price of your smile Tik tok goes the clock Two minutes and your on Slide your mask into place To hide anything that's wrong Remember a frown is a smile that's unwell Keep your emotions quelled But the crowd outside is growing impatient They're throwing handfuls of their popcorn on your stage You feel an ever-growing frustration Put on a smile All eyes on you Yeah, it's your job to Bring genuine smiles to everyone's faces But they have no clue What goes on behind that mask of yours Yours So, make them laugh yeah Make their day Joke about your pain to make them feel ok They call you the clown for making living life worthwhile At the price of your Sixty seconds still remain You're still not ready something's strange You feel like you're losing Control of yourself Thirty seconds now are left Your arms lift like a marionette Your legs carry you to the stage At fifteen seconds the lights fade And the world goes away Then all lights are on you Everyone expects to Have genuine smiles Left on their faces By the time you're through Entertaining the world with that act of yours Yours So make them laugh yeah Make their day Joke about your pain to take their troubles away They call you the clown for making living life worthwhile At the price of your smile
