Lyrics Don't Tell Me to Smile - Soko

Don't Tell Me to Smile

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
