| Life is a stage, I make my cinema
|
| I say everything is going well even when it's not going well
|
| Sometimes I even cry in my arms
|
| Late at night so no one sees me
|
| No it's not easy living with yourself
|
| To do what others expect of you
|
| To say it's ok, always when it's ok, always not
|
| To drag your pain and drag your joy
|
| Life is a stage so I put on the show
|
| I say all is well despite the obstacles
|
| Mom used to tell me, "Don't empty your bag too much, child
|
| Not crying is being tactful"
|
| So we smile, not to be sad anymore
|
| We can dress up, we're all artists
|
| So we smile, not to be sad anymore
|
| You can dress up, it's the life of an artist
|
| You have to take care of people, who smile too often
|
| They often hide a sadness inside
|
| Me, I close the curtain like you close your eyelids
|
| So no one sees what's behind
|
| I learned how to go from clown to gangsta
|
| To filter my thoughts like an Insta photo
|
| Yet mama said to me, "Be yourself little
|
| 'Cause you know everyone else is already taken"
|
| So we smile, not to be sad anymore
|
| We can dress up, we're all artists
|
| So we smile, not to be sad anymore
|
| You can dress up, it's the life of an artist
|
| Life is a stage, we improvise
|
| We learn to dance in the rain
|
| To disguise our truths
|
| In a smile
|
| So we smile, not to be sad anymore
|
| We can dress up, we're all artists
|
| So we smile, not to be sad anymore
|
| You can dress up, it's the life of an artist
|
| Life is a stage, we improvise
|
| We learn to dance in the rain
|
| In a smile
|
| We're all artists, kinda sad
|
| We're all artists, kinda sad |
