Fake Smile Lyrics - Freedom - Rebecca Ferguson

Well, I'm not gonna lie 

Doesn't work I've tried 

I've soaked up the bitterness with wine 

Calling him up, fully drunk 

But he declines count on my blessings 

And now I'm down to none 

He took the piss because I let him 

Yeah, I was good while I was fun 

Put on your fake smile 

And wipe away your real tears 

What's real anyway? 

What's real anyway? 

Put on that short skirt 

And show him what he'll miss 

It's not real anyway 

It's not real anyway 

So we're not getting on 

Maybe the timings wrong 

But I thought we were getting better 

And he just smiles as he tells me 

I'm not the one, this film he's directing 

All his feelings are missing 

And I'm saying sorry on the phone 

For all the awful things I haven't done 

Put on your fake smile 

And wipe away your real tears 

What's real anyway? 

What's real anyway? 

Put on that short skirt 

And show him what he'll miss 

It's not real anyway 

It's not real anyway 

Just when it's over 

And not getting older 

After all my time 

That's smile is real 

As real as is 

Put on your fake smile 

And wipe away your real tears 

What's real anyway? 

What's real anyway? 

Put on that short skirt 

And show him what he'll miss 

We've all done it anyway 

Let's be real anyway
