Best Fake Smile
James Bay
Letra

No you don't have to wear your best fake smile
Don't have to stand there
And burn inside oh oh oh, if you don't like it

She's working late and making eyes at the door
She's sick of everybody up on her floor
She wants the sun in her eyes, but all she gets is ignored
She used to put it out and get it all back
But now she's slipping trying carry the act
She's sweating under the lights, now she's beginning to crack, woah

No you don't have to wear your best fake smile
Don't have to stand there
And burn inside, oh oh oh, if you don't like it
And you don't have to care, so don't pretend
Nobody needs a best fake friend oh oh oh, don't hide it

No hesitation now, she gets up and walks
She thinks of all the pain and pride that it cost
She empties all the tip jars, it won't get back she lost
Outside the window with two fingers to show
She lifts her head up just to blow out the smoke
She doesn't have to look back to know where's she's got to go

No you don't have to wear your best fake smile
Don't have to stand there
And burn inside oh oh oh, if you don't like it
And you don't have to care, so don't pretend
Nobody needs a best fake friend oh oh oh, don't hide it

If you don't bleed it, you don't need it anymore
If you don't need it, get up and leave it on the floor
No more believing like it's a voice you can't ignore
If you don't need it, you don't need it no

No you don't have to wear your best fake smile
Don't have to stand there
And burn inside oh oh oh, if you don't like it
And you don't have to care, so don't pretend
Nobody needs a best fake friend oh oh oh, don't hide it
No you don't have to wear your best fake smile
Don't have to stand there
And burn inside oh oh oh, if you don't like it
Oh oh oh, no if you don't like it
