“Smiling While I’m Empty” is a haunting sad-pop ballad about wearing a brave face while feeling nothing but emptiness inside. It tells the story of someone who keeps reassuring the world they’re fine, even as they quietly fade within. A fragile, late-night confession about hidden exhaustion, unseen pain, and the cost of being strong for far too long. 🌙💔


🎶 LYRICS :

(slow piano, hollow pad, breathing space)

🪝 OPENING LINE

I smile so no one worries…
But there’s nothing left inside.

VERSE 1

I answer “good” when people ask,
I laugh at things I used to mean.
I wear my happiness like makeup,
Covering what’s underneath.

I show up late, I leave too early,
I don’t explain, I just pretend.
It’s easier to play okay
Than tell them where I really am.

PRE-CHORUS

They say I look so strong these days,
Like I’ve finally healed somehow.
But strength feels different when it’s empty—
And I’m running out now.

🎶 CHORUS

I’m smiling while I’m empty,
Holding pieces of my pride.
I’m standing in the daylight
With nothing left inside.
They think I’ve moved on cleanly,
But I just learned how to hide—
I’m smiling while I’m empty,
Trying not to ask why.

VERSE 2

I stopped expecting anything,
Stopped hoping it would change.
I don’t get angry, I don’t cry—
I just feel strangely away.

I sit with friends and feel alone,
I hear my name but don’t respond.
It’s like I’m watching life happen
From somewhere I don’t belong.

PRE-CHORUS 2

I don’t remember when it broke,
Only when I stopped feeling whole.
They say time heals, but all it did
Was teach me how to lose control quietly.

🎶 CHORUS (DEEPER)

I’m smiling while I’m empty,
Like it doesn’t hurt at all.
I learned how to be pleasant
While I’m quietly in freefall.
They tell me I look better now,
But they don’t see the cost—
I’m smiling while I’m empty,
Pretending I’m not lost.

🌉 BRIDGE (MOST FRAGILE — STRIP MUSIC)

(piano only, trembling voice)

If I stop smiling for one second,
Will anyone stay?
Or will they get uncomfortable
And slowly look away?

I don’t need fixing, I don’t need advice,
I don’t need “everything will be fine.”
I just need someone to notice
I’m empty… not okay.

🎶 FINAL CHORUS (LOWER, EXHAUSTED)

I’m smiling while I’m empty,
And I’m tired of the role.
I don’t want to be strong anymore,
I just want to feel whole.
If happiness is louder than truth,
Then silence is where I hide—
I’m smiling while I’m empty…
Still breathing, but barely alive.

OUTRO (VERY SOFT)

(music fades)

I’m still smiling…
I just don’t feel anything.


💔 MEANING

This song is about emotional numbness.
About wearing a smile as armor.
About being surrounded by people
and still feeling completely empty.

It reminds us that not all smiles mean happiness. 🙂🖤
