Lyrics
Sickly Grin
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It seems the current style
to wear a toothy smile
No matter how events may go
to never let emotions show
Being happy's fine
but not all the time
Sometimes I sigh or I cry
or sing outside all day
I don't care
Some prefer to show
their sickly grin
Smiles go on and on
How can they last so long?
Anxieties must cross their path
But all they seem to do is laugh
Being happy's fine
but not all the time
Sometimes I sigh or I cry
or sing outside all day
I don't care
Some prefer to show
their sickly grin
I'm not a po-faced boy
as has been said before
Variety's the spice of life
Although false jollity seems most rife
Being happy's fine
but not all the time
Sometimes I sigh or I cry
or sing outside all day
Whistling tunes
Entering rooms full of people
I don't know
if I'm joyless
or jealous
or simply morose
I don't care
Some prefer to show
their sickly grin
