Faking a Smile

 I asked ChatGPT to write a song about someone who got hurt and faked a smile to cover up the pain. This is that song:

**Verse 1:**

He walks into the room with his head held high,  

A mask of confidence, a bright blue sky.  

But underneath the surface, there's a storm inside,  

A heart that's breaking, a pain he can't confide.


**Pre-Chorus:**

He laughs with the crowd, like everything's fine,  

But deep down inside, he's drawing the line.  

A fortress of smiles to keep the world blind,  

To the tears that he hides, the pain intertwined.


**Chorus:**

He's faking a smile, hiding the scars,  

Playing the part like a shining star.  

Behind the laughter, there's a silent cry,  

In the mirror's reflection, you can see the lie.


**Verse 2:**

His eyes tell a story that his lips won't share,  

Of dreams that were shattered, of love in despair.  

He carries the weight of the world on his own,  

In a sea full of people, he feels so alone.


**Pre-Chorus:**

He dances through life, with a grace that's so kind,  

But the shadows of sorrow, they cling to his mind.  

He’s painted his world with colors so bright,  

Yet the darkness inside, it takes all his light.


**Chorus:**

He's faking a smile, hiding the scars,  

Playing the part like a shining star.  

Behind the laughter, there's a silent cry,  

In the mirror's reflection, you can see the lie.


**Bridge:**

If only someone could see through the guise,  

And hold him close, wipe the tears from his eyes.  

To tell him it's okay to let the mask fall,  

That he's not alone, not alone at all.


**Chorus:**

He's faking a smile, hiding the scars,  

Playing the part like a shining star.  

Behind the laughter, there's a silent cry,  

In the mirror's reflection, you can see the lie.


**Outro:**

So when the night falls and he's all alone,  

He lets down his guard in the comfort of home.  

His smile fades away, the tears start to flow,  

In the silence, he whispers, "I just want them to know."


What do you think?

How would you sing this song and what music would you compose for it?
