Zoloft Inside the Bittersweet Chocolate

Grin and bear my teeth

I'm smiling, smiling, smiling, smiling

Just ignore all the pain

You don't deserve that much

But I'll give it anyway

Keep on talking, keep on talking

So much I can add but I

Keep it quiet, keep it quiet

Don't want to be the monster by pointing out you're one

Spill your bullshit, spill your bullshit

Don't wanna be a liar so I

Keep it quiet, keep it quiet

Smiling over the sour taste

I'm just a placater

Slicing up my fingers for you

On all the glass shards I'm picking up

From every time you break

Smile, smile, smile, smile

Don't let them see you're cracking

Smile, smile, smile, smile

Remember you're the "strong" one

Getting to you, getting to you

But you'll never let that show

Anger building, anger building

But you hide it behind your smile

Playing cool, playing cool

Everyone in awe of you cuz I

Kept it quiet, kept it quiet

Not wanting to call you out as the lost cause that you are

Acting friendly, acting friendly

No one knows why I cringe when I

Kept it quiet, kept it quiet

Smile don't complain

I'm just a clown

Losing my dignity for you and more

Throwing my feelings aside with fakery

Joking so you don't break

Smile, smile, smile, smile

Don't let them see you're cracking

Smile, smile, smile, smile

Remember you're the "strong" one

Getting to you, getting to you

But you'll never let that show

Anger building, anger building

But you hide it behind your smile

Don't. Let. That. Go.

Just. Let. It. Show.

Voices tell me, voices beckon me

Somewhere in the back of my mind

You. Are. Weak. Too.

You. Can. Break. Through.

Go and show, let them know it

No need to smile and keep it quiet

Smile, smile, smile, smile

I think they see that you're cracking

Smile, smile, smile, smile

Can't keep playing as the "strong" one

Getting to you, getting to you

But why won't you try and show

Anger building, anger building

Fucking show it past that smile

Breaking, cracking, breaking, cracking

Let them know that you are hurting

Crying, dying, crying, dying

Playing roles won't stop your sadness

Gotten to you, going through you

Don't be scared to be yourself

Anger risen, anger flowing

Normal and healthy if you control it

Laugh and cry it out

I'm smiling, smiling, smiling, smiling

I've made it through the pain

Cuz I've deserved that much

I'll make it through that way
