I put on a face

That's too pale for my taste

But everyone else

Seems to think that it's great

I put on grin

That feels like a sin

I know that it's fake

But everyone else is fine with it

I put on a lie

Subtle as a sigh

To everyone else at least

To me it's just

American Pie

And I don't know why

But I can't reply

Honestly

It's costly

To tell the truth

To you
