Best Fake Smile

James Bay, or "Bae", whichever you prefer. He's my newfound love. Truly.

I listen to his deluxe album almost everyday. And all of the songs are truly beautiful, some make me cry and some make me have a mini-dance party on the way to school in the morning. One of my favorite songs of his is "Best Fake Smile".

No you don't have to wear your best fake smile
Don't have to stand there and burn inside

These lyrics are so good and straight to the point. If you're not happy, leave. If a situation makes you mad, upset, uncomfortable or sad, leave. Don't fake a smile and don't fake being happy for the sake of others, because they probably won't do the same things for you.

Don't burn inside, if you're hurting, let it out! Let it go and express your feelings, that's the only way you'll ever feel better, truly, let it out. Don't burn inside, be free outside.

And you don't have to care so don't pretend
Nobody needs a best fake friend

You don't have to care, and if you don't, don't act like you do! Don't be insincere for the sake of sparing someone's feelings because it'll only hurt them more in the end. Be real and don't feel bad for being real!

You don't need a best fake friend! You need sincere people, if you're not happy with a friendship or someone isn't being an ideal support for you, take some time and cut them out. Toxic people create toxic situations and those are never good.

This song is awesome, and I definitely recommend any other James Bay song because they are all so incredibly beautiful. If You Ever Want To Be In Love is my second favorite, just in case you wanted to know!

stay peaceful (and have a real smile, not a fake one)!!
