Intro
Can you smile
Can you smile
Can you smile

Verse 1
Whether I'm feeling pensive, defensive
With an extensive sense of relinquish
Or not contempt with my ellipsism - non compos mentis
Or if I'm feeling offensive from my exulansis
Even if I'm hell bent on revenge I text with
A smile after my words, a guy who I thought the world of
Went behind my back and treated me like dirt
Won't go deeper than that
But I tell you it hurt - when asked about it I blurt out
A happy smilеy, but inside of me
I'm the еrupting head when it bursts
If I'm laying in, mid day again
Mum's texting saying I'm lazy and
Brain is hazy and - the morning's the only time to regain my zen
I was awake last night - hiding it's kind of crazy
But I reply and crack wise
With the face that's zany and
I fail again - I defy but

Hook
Can you smile
Don't nobody know me
I hide behind emojis
Can you smile
Don't nobody know me
I hide behind emojis
Can you smile
Don't nobody know me
I hide behind emojis
Can you smile
Don't nobody know me
I hide behind emojis
Can you smile

Bridge
They're like my armour
Disguising drama
Trying to calm me
Y'alright or aren't you
They might be God 'cause
They hide me from the
Fighting and problems
Almighty Father

Verse 2
Black cloud over my head, nearly got banged out
Received a snap from this damn clown
He said how I'd bad mouthed him
Now my knee caps will get smashed out
Too bad now, but I reply with the Laugh Out Loud Face
I know he won't back down, really I'm scatting out
I need some company, somebody at the pub with me
Dungarees or blue jeans, it doesn't bother me
They decline, fine - I reply with the guy who's smiling comfortably
Feel isolated like no one's in a rut but me
My job's not working, I'm not certain
I get a message alert when I'm not in person
Asking how the job's going? I'm not too burdened
I'm persevering - respond with the Nerd and Smirk Face
When I should reply with the Anger Face, Zipper Face
The Fear, the Scared Face, I'm over exerting
I do lie but

Hook
Can you smile
Don't nobody know me
I hide behind emojis
Can you smile
Don't nobody know me
I hide behind emojis
Can you smile
Don't nobody know me
I hide behind emojis
Can you smile
Don't nobody know me
I hide behind emojis
Can you smile
Don't nobody know me
I hide behind emojis
Can you smile
Don't nobody know me
I hide behind emojis
Can you smile

Outro
Not one of you - not one
Not one single person in this whole world
