the smile is the price tag
by caitlan-

i'm under the water
still struggling to swim
you're there like a life jacket
but you still won't let me in

my legs are tied
i'm out of breath
you were there to catch me
til you packed up and left

and now i'm drowning
they all rush to come and see
my hand fall to the surface
for tonight i sleep in the sea.

and i won't need you
coz you don't need me
you were always my number 1
i was barely one of your top 3

and i won't need you
coz as you can see
i'm wearing the same fake smile
and dressing in the same old plea
