Mirror Smiles (jazz) (Remastered)
[Intro] why… am I smiling… …something’s wrong [Verse 1] In the mirror I look okay but it’s slipping every day holding pieces, trying to stay but they fall away I say I’m fine, I say I’m good like I know I should but every breath feels misunderstood like I’m losing what I could [Pre-Hook] …wait no… don’t— [Hook] why am I smiling… when I feel this pain why does it hurt… when they say I’m okay I keep it steady, I don’t let it show why am I smiling… I’m losing control why am I empty… when I had it all I’m falling apart but nobody knows [Verse 2] I can’t stop it, I can’t breathe, I can’t feel it, I can’t leave everything is closing in, every thought is underneath breaking faster, moving quicker, nothing fits and nothing sticks mind is racing, I’m erasing every second of this slow down— no I can’t now— [Bridge] please… just stop… [Final Hook] why am I smiling… while I’m breaking down why do I laugh… when I’m about to drown I tried to hold it, I tried to stay strong but something’s gone… it’s all gone
