Don't Tell Me to Smile - Soko

And what you see

Is not my face

It’s not my face

It’s just a shadow of my soul

And my emotions

Is what you get

Just an illusion

You never forget

It’s not my eyes

Just a reflection

It’s not my mouth

Telling you to get away-way-way

It’s not my face

It’s not my fault

It’s not my arms

Pushing you away-way-way

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 a sad one

But as long as I wear my red dress

I’ll be just fine

Don’t tell me to smile now

And what you see

Is not my face

It’s not my face

It’s just a shadow of my soul

And my depression

Is what you get

And disillusion

You never forget

To get so lost

Into perfection

And all my cracks

Got to love them all in a way

Got to love my fear

Got to love my tears

If it’s not the case

Better get away-way-way

Don’t tell me to smile now
