	[Verse] If I never see you again, what is my eyesight for? If you’re never in my life again, then what is my life for? I know better than to be so absolute I know better than to keep this attitude But you know better than the masquerade I show them with each passing day since... [Bridge] History... out the making… but we made it… and you’re behaving like we never gave each other something we can never get back… How could you… just replace me… with another… Did they erase me, or is something forcing you to tell the memory to get back? You won’t tell me, so I tell myself: [Hook] Smile for the camera, show them you’re okay now (Hey; I’m okay now! I’m okay now!) Smile for the camera, show them how it’s alright (Hey; It’s alright now! It’s alright now!) Smile for the camera, hoping that it looks true Hoping it shakes them, same way they shook you Hoping at the same time, they remember what a fake smile looks like on your face

about

[Verse]
If I never see you again, what is my eyesight for?
If you’re never in my life again, then what is my life for?
I know better than to be so absolute
I know better than to keep this attitude
But you know better than the masquerade I show them with each passing day since...

[Bridge]
History... out the making… but we made it… and you’re behaving like we never gave each other something we can never get back…
How could you… just replace me… with another…
Did they erase me, or is something forcing you to tell the memory to get back?

You won’t tell me, so I tell myself:

[Hook]
Smile for the camera, show them you’re okay now
(Hey; I’m okay now! I’m okay now!)
Smile for the camera, show them how it’s alright
(Hey; It’s alright now! It’s alright now!)
Smile for the camera, hoping that it looks true
Hoping it shakes them, same way they shook you
Hoping at the same time, they remember what a fake smile looks like on your face
