【VERSE 1】 Right hand here, Eyes over there Lift your chin, Fix your hair Smile a little, Not like that Turn your shoulder, Hold it back "You don't look like yourself" "That's not how you should be" Funny how they all seem to know Who I'm supposed to be 【PRE-CHORUS】 So I listen, So I try Change a little, Then comply Every time I ask "why?" Someone tells me what to do But when it all goes wrong Who's responsible? 【CHORUS】 Same face, same smile Same pose, same style Look around, it's everywhere Everybody's standing there Left hand here, Eyes right there Smile like this, Pretend you care I used to ask what I should be Now I just let them edit me Tell me where to stand Tell me how to smile I'll be your little doll For a while 【VERSE 2】 At school, at work, On every screen There's always someone Fixing what they see Too quiet, Too loud Too plain, Stand out Talk like this, Dress like that "Be yourself" How about that? Everyone has a different rule Everyone says they know what's best But somehow every perfect answer Looks exactly like the rest 【PRE-CHORUS】 So I listen, So I try Change a little, Then comply If I follow every voice And become what they all choose When the person disappears Who gets to take the blame? 【CHORUS】 Same face, same smile Same pose, same style Look around, it's everywhere Everybody's standing there Left hand here, Eyes right there Smile like this, Pretend you care I used to ask what I should be Now I just let them edit me Tell me where to stand Tell me how to smile I'll be your little doll For a while 【BRIDGE】 Maybe I'm not broken Maybe I'm just well trained Maybe every little correction Left another mark behind I wanted to resist But resistance gets exhausting So I stopped asking who I am And started doing what they wanted 【BREAK】 "Eyes here." "Chin up." "Smile." 【FINAL CHORUS】 Same face, same smile Same pose, same style Look around, it's everywhere Everybody's standing there Left hand here, Eyes right there Smile like this, Pretend you care I don't know what I should be I only know what they tell me Tell me where to stand Tell me how to smile If I'm a broken little doll Just leave me for a while 【OUTRO】 "Smile." So I smile. "Perfect." I stay still.
