Smile in the glass, worn at the seams, Eyes gone quiet, dim in the light, I know that face isn't lying to me, I put it on anyway Straighten the collar, steady my hands, Something behind the eyes stays here, Out the door and into the noise, Nobody's gonna know Wear it well, wear it well, Smile like you mean it (you don't mean it) Nobody's watching that close, Wear it down, wear it down, 'Til there's nothing left Always ready, always prepared Running low, but no one can tell I know exactly what to say And I say it like I mean it Still composed, still holding on Still saying what they need to hear I know how to keep it hidden (...so do I...) I don't know how much is left (...not just you...) Wear it well, wear it well, Smile like you mean it (...so do I...) Nobody's watching that close, Wear it down, wear it down, 'Til there's nothing left
