I’m the guy at the bar crackin’ one-liners,
Life of the party, whiskey insider.
Ain’t nobody knows when I drive home,
I turn the jokes off and I’m all alone.

My phone lights up with “you good, bro?” texts,
I leave it on read, they don’t need that mess.
So I pour a little more, take a deep breath in,
Fake a laugh, then I do it again.


Yeah, they all think I’m doin’ fine,
But they don’t see what’s in my mind.


I smile like hell so they can’t tell,
That I’m barely hangin’ on myself.
I play that part, I wear it well,
A broken heart with a “yeah, I’m swell.”
They see a grin, I see a cell,
I’m laughin’ loud in my own hell.
Yeah, I smile like hell so they can’t tell.


Got a story for every scar I got,
Turn pain into punchlines on the spot.
Ain’t nobody wanna see a man cry,
So I turn the hurt into “I’m alright.”

But when the lights go down and the crowd’s all gone,
That’s when the truth starts creepin’ in,
And I realize I’m my own best friend.


They call me strong, they call me brave,
But they don’t know the soul I save.


I smile like hell so they can’t tell,
That I’m barely hangin’ on myself.
I play that part, I wear it well,
A broken heart with a “yeah, I’m swell.”
They see a grin, I see a cell,
I’m laughin’ loud in my own hell.
Yeah, I smile like hell so they can’t tell.


And maybe one day I’ll let it show,
That the funny guy’s got pain below.
But ‘til that time, I’ll keep my crown,
Laughin’ just to keep from drownin’ down.


I smile like hell so they can’t tell,
That I’m fightin’ off my own farewell.
I play that part, I wear it well,
A broken man with a rebel yell.
Yeah, they see strong, but truth don’t sell,
I’m dyin’ slow behind this shell.
Yeah, I smile like hell so they can’t tell.


Light the smoke, take one more shot…
Smile like hell — it’s all I got.
