Stop smiling
When you smile we see how stupid you are
How much you believe that humans are good
And that you forget that life sometimes is long

Stop smiling
We all have secrets hidden within us
Unfulfilled dreams that drive us crazy
Regrets that come back to stain our cheeks

You didn't choose your mother, you didn't choose your father
You didn't even get to choose the face you were given
You didn't choose your name and even if you're going in circles
You keep laughing

You say you love life, you even thank it
When it sends you its shit, you say it's for the best
You believe we're here on this beautiful pretty earth
Because we must learn to be happy

Stop smiling
When I see you, you almost make me want to believe
Almost want to try to see in the dark
Me who rarely feeds on love and hope

Stop smiling
I'm the one who doubts everything despite himself
Who cleanses himself of his sins in the rain at night
The one who drowns alone in a sea of denial

You didn't choose your mother, you didn't choose your father
You didn't even get to choose the face you were given
You didn't choose your name and even if you're going in circles
You keep laughing

You say you love life, you even thank it
When it sends you its shit, you say it's for the best
You believe we're here on this beautiful pretty earth
Because we must learn to be happy

Stop smiling
Because I think you're making me a jealous man
I don't know how you manage to stay standing
While tonight I'm walking on my knees

Stop smiling
With your big eyes that bite into life
I too want to look into infinity
Without feeling like I'm living on credit

You didn't choose your mother, you didn't choose your father
You didn't even get to choose the face you were given
You didn't choose your name and even if you're going in circles
You keep laughing

You say you love life, you even thank it
When it sends you its shit, you say it's for the best
You believe we're here on this beautiful pretty earth
Because we must learn to be happy

You didn't choose your mother, you didn't choose your father
You didn't even get to choose the face you were given
You didn't choose your name and even if you're going in circles
You keep laughing
Yes, keep laughing

Yes, keep laughing!
