melissa kimai - behind the smile lyrics

[verse 1]
you dressed it up pretty, made it sound sincere
pulled the strings tight, kept me tangled here
“safe place,” “constant,” “you care the most”
turns out, i was just the fool you chose

fed me lines like you cared at all
“you’re different,” “you get me” rehe+rs+d, small talk
played the broken card, played the perfect man
but it all falls apart when you can’t withstand

[pre+chorus]
you weren’t lost, you weren’t scared
you just never cared
everything rehe+rs+d, everything planned
another coward hiding behind a man

[chorus]
there’s rot behind the smile, poison in your words
everything you promised was rehe+rs+d
“i’ll change,” “i love you,” “i need you close”
all scripted lies, all empty ghosts
you weren’t broken, you weren’t real
you just liked how easy i was to steal
there’s rot behind the smile, now it shows
you’re not complex, you’re just hollow
[verse 2]
“you make me happy,” “i feel safe” staged
you said all the right sh+t to keep me caged
“i don’t wanna lose you,” but you lost me twice
guess your comfort always came at my price

told me i “deserved better” yeah, i do
better than wasted time wrapped around you
better than falling for your half+grown mess
better than waiting for you to confess

[pre+chorus]
you weren’t lost, you weren’t scared
you just never cared
everything rehe+rs+d, everything planned
another coward hiding behind a man

[chorus]
there’s rot behind the smile, poison in your words
everything you promised was rehe+rs+d
“i’ll change,” “i love you,” “i need you close”
all scripted lies, all empty ghosts
you weren’t broken, you weren’t real
you just liked how easy i was to steal
there’s rot behind the smile, now it shows
you’re not complex, you’re just hollow
[bridge]
save the speeches, save the lines
i’ve bled enough for your design
keep the pity, keep the mask
i’ve seen the wreckage, seen the cracks

[final chorus]
there’s rot behind the smile, poison in your words
everything you promised was rehe+rs+d
“i’ll change,” “i love you,” “i need you close”
all scripted lies, all empty ghosts
you weren’t broken, you weren’t real
you just liked how easy i was to steal
there’s rot behind the smile, now it shows
you’re not complicated, you’re just hollow

[outro]
the mask is gone, the wreckage clear
you were never worth the tears
