Fake Smile - Carlie Hanson

She’s here at the bar and she’s drinking alone

Her friends in the car and they’re ready to go

Doesn’t drink when she’s happy and when she’s down

She’s betting on karma to come back around

She said my demons got demons

And my tears they got reasons

And the bartender came to interrupt

I started thinking as he filled up a cup

I just met a girl with a fake smile

Said she ain’t been good in a great while

Tryna get ahead but she keeps on stumbling

Hard to live in a world that’s crumbling

I just met a girl with a fake smile

Say she got to laugh so she don’t cry

Tryna get ahead but she keeps on stumbling

Hard to live in a world that’s crumbling, oh

It takes one and no one, it takes one and all

It takes one and no one, I know how it goes

I’ve been caught in the spiral and living the lie

When every breath is like a twist of the knife

She said my demons got demons

And my tears they got reasons

And the bartender came to interrupt

I started thinking as he filled up a cup

I just met a girl with a fake smile

Said she ain’t been good in a great while

Tryna get ahead but she keeps on stumbling

Hard to live in a world that’s crumbling

I just met a girl with a fake smile

Say she got to laugh so she don’t cry

Tryna get ahead but she keeps on stumbling

Hard to live in a world that’s crumbling, oh

She said she needs someone, oh

She said the world keeps getting colder

I told her I know how it goes

I told her I know how it goes

It’s getting late, I’m going home

Started to leave and then it’s over

I know it’s hard to be alone

Or we could spend it down the road, yeah, yeah, yeah
