Story behind the song
Got tired of pretending everything's great with the world, and hiding stuff behind lies and fake smiles.
Lyrics
[Intro]
I dont wanna smile,
I dont wanna live this lie,
Just leave me alone,
For good.
*Repeated Once*
[Verse 1 - Kruxx]
So I don't wanna smile, but the world makes me try,
Why would I buy time if I knew I could fly,
My lies cry out for a time to shine,
Jump in line, these words are mine.
If you find my mind, take a look inside,
You find all kinds of things you'd never wish to find.
People dont find my lines, like I'm a subliminal mime,
Time to shine, not close to prime,
The light's not lime, the green grass aint mine.
Gotta get through the grime, gotta try to climb,
No time for crime, just got to shine.
Keep doin my rhymes, til the end of time.
If you cant see my intentions you must be blind,
I've tried to be kind, now watch the drama unwind.
I'm not doing this for you, or the whole of mankind,
Me and my rhymes combined just cant be confined.
You only get half the story half time,
You never know the truth that lurks behind,
You never get a full insight into my mind,
Coz I hide it all behind False Smiles And Lies.
[Hook]
False smiles and Lies, this is the time it takes,
To tell you who I really am, I choose my own fate.
No-One chooses my path, I choose my own,
Wont let you decide, to tell me to go home.
I wont let you damn people walk all on me,
Like you own me, but you don't really know me.
You only know what I'm like on the outside,
Coz I hide it all behind false smiles and lies.
[Verse 2 - Shinoda]
I could teach you how to front, every smile I pull's a stunt
I ain't ready for the brunt of placing feelings, lets be blunt/
I ain't an agent in disguise so won't cover up no more
when I've smiled for you, Its a frown behind closed doors/
Though times were genuine, they ain't clear anymore
And even though you knew I loved you, you just chose to ignore/
And what for? Why did I become a re-ject, my re-spect Is all I gave/
With affection to re-check and in-ject an in-trest you'd ee-xpect My feelings to save/
So now false smiles displayed, why did you play about with my heart
Take those times that were good and leave them torn apart/
Was being nice just so hard, that you left me back in shards
So that when we speak now I'm just emotionally scarred/
I've come too far, I lost it all and tried to say it didn't matter
But I'm on show for the world to know, you left my emotions battered/
So what do I do but hide it behind false smiles and lies
And try to forget the pain, nothing left to gain as my soul just dies/
[Hook]
False smiles and Lies, this is the time it takes,
To tell you who I really am, I choose my own fate.
No-One chooses my path, I choose my own,
Wont let you decide, to tell me to go home.
I wont let you damn people walk all on me,
Like you own me, but you don't really know me.
You only know what I'm like on the outside,
Coz I hide it all behind false smiles and lies.
[Verse 3 - Kruxx]
If I died tonight, would you cry for me?
No, you'd prolly try and fake a smile for me,
Why do we hide our greatest emotions away,
When we got people dying never live to see another day.
I'm done with the fake stuff, its time to be real,
Time to give up blocking out all the things I feel,
Every little tiny thing thats gets to me inside my mind,
Will be released, printed forever in time,
No telling half truths, and 50% lies,
It's time to leave all these damn lies behind.
Just imagine for a second, you were living as Kruxx,
The world's messed up, and no1 gives a 2nd look,
Do you let these things bother you? Feel 'em growing?
'Til eventually you burst and all these things are showing?
Or do you sit down calmly, fake a smile,
Tell a couple of lies, say goodbye to bad times?
My choice was the obvious one to choose,
But when your own fit, why try someone elses shoes?
Don't try and hide the truth, by covering it with lies,
And if you really wanna frown, dont bother with smiles.
[Hook]
False smiles and Lies, this is the time it takes,
To tell you who I real
