"Acting is just like lying
Put on a smile even though you're fuckin' dying
Acting is just like pretending
Fake your emotions even though your life is ending

Everybody put on your mask now
Everybody do your best now
Your best to believe that everything's gonna be alright
Even, yeah, even though you know everything you love is gonna eventually die

Acting is just like lying
Put on a smile even though you're fuckin' dying
Acting is just like pretending
Fake your emotions even though your life is ending

Now don't let no one find out what's truly bumming you out
Just turn off the lights
tell everyone everything's alright
and cry and cry and cry at night

Acting is just like lying
Put on a smile even though you're fuckin' dying
Acting is just like pretending
Fake your emotions even though your life is ending

You can only be true to yourself
Even if it's bad for your mental health
There's no way to deal with the pain
You gotta let the pain melt you away
You gotta smile
Even if it only makes you happy for awhile
You gotta hide from the Earth
So they don't know you're hurt

Acting is just like lying
Put on a smile even though you're fuckin' dying
Acting is just like pretending
Fake your emotions even though your life is ending."
