Everyone thinks they're so happy, or claims to... not about any particular person. The line 'don't smile at me' came to me on the edge of sleep and I had to use it.

Grin and Bear It
Don't you smile at me
I can see the dim lights shining from the other side
I can see the masochist waiting for the big fight
Don't smile at me
I can see the sadness behind those eyes
I can see the tragedy between the lies
Don't smile
Don't cry
But don't smile
Hollow like the laughter on the end of the line
Empty like the chatter in vain to say we're fine
These words so well-rehearsed
This small talk all dressed up in verse
Simple yet so elegant and all for the worse
I know it hurts and it's okay to hide
But don't you smile at me
