Everybody’s Smile

Verse 1

I learned early how to read a room

Feel the tension like a coming storm

Say the words that make it disappear

Even if my heart feels torn

I can wear a hundred different faces

Just to keep the peace tonight

If everybody else is happy

Maybe I’ll be alright

Pre-Chorus

But every “yes” I give away

Feels like losing more of me

Chorus

I’m chasing everybody’s smile

Running every extra mile

Trying just to make it right

Even when I lose the fight

Say I’m fine, but deep inside

I’m drowning in the compromise

I bend till I break just to make them stay

Living for everybody’s smile today

Verse 2

I’m the peacekeeper at the table

Always making sure it’s calm

But nobody sees the quiet war

Between my head and heart

I know every expectation

Before they say a word

But the voice inside me whispering

Is the one that’s never heard

Pre-Chorus

I’m tired of disappearing

Every time I say “okay”

Chorus

I’m chasing everybody’s smile

Running every extra mile

Trying just to make it right

Even when I lose the fight

Say I’m fine, but deep inside

I’m drowning in the compromise

I bend till I break just to make them stay

Living for everybody’s smile today

Bridge

What if I stopped pretending?

What if I let the truth show through?

Maybe love don’t mean surrender

Maybe I can choose me too

Final Chorus

I’m done chasing everybody’s smile

Walking back that extra mile

Learning how to stand my ground

Even if it lets them down

Maybe truth will set me free

Maybe grace is meant for me

I won’t break just to make them stay

I’m done living for everybody’s smile

Outro

If they leave, then let them go

I’m finally learning what I’m worth.
