JAMES BAY / ДЖЕЙМС БЭЙ
— [bad word] jamesbay

No, you don't have to wear your best fake smile, 
Don't have to stand there and burn inside 
If you don't like it. 

She's working late and making eyes at the door, 
She's sick of everybody up on her floor, 
She wants the sun in her eyes but all she gets is ignored. 

She used to put it out and get it all back 
But now she's slipping trying to carry the act, 
She's sweating under the lights, now she's beginning to crack. 

No, you don't have to wear your best fake smile, 
Don't have to stand there and burn inside 
If you don't like it. 

And you don't have to care, so don't pretend, 
Nobody needs a best fake friend, 
Don't hide it. 

No hesitation now, she gets up and walks, 
She thinks of all the pain and pride that it cost, 
She empties all the tip jars and won't get back what she lost. 

Outside the window with two fingers to show, 
She lifts her head up just to blow out the smoke, 
She doesn't have to look back to know where she's gotta go. 

No, you don't have to wear your best fake smile, 
Don't have to stand there and burn inside 
If you don't like it. 

And you don't have to care, so don't pretend, 
Nobody needs a best fake friend, 
Don't hide it. 

If you don't bleed it, you don't need it anymore, 
If you don't need it, get up and leave it on the floor, 
No more believing like it's a voice you can't ignore, 
If you don't need it, you don't need it no. 

And you don't have to wear your best fake smile, 
Don't have to stand there and burn inside 
If you don't like it. 

And you don't have to care, so don't pretend, 
Nobody needs a best fake friend, 
Don't hide it. 

No, you don't have to wear your best fake smile, 
Don't have to stand there and burn inside 
If you don't like it. 

No, if you don't like it.
