Lyrics
Don't Tell Me To Smile
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.
And what you see is not my face
It's not my face
It's just a shadow of my soul
All my emotions is what you get
Just an illusion you'll never forget
It's not my eyes
Just a reflection
It's not my mouth
Telling you to get away away
It's not my face
It's not my fault
It's not my arms pushing you away, away, away
Don't tell me to smile now
Don't you tell me to smile
With all my teeth
For your picture now
I was never the pretty one
I was always the sad one
But as long as I wear my red shoes
I'll be just fine
Don't tell me to smile now
