Don't Smile At Me
Triumph Over Toxicity
Lyrics
You know that I am doing better now
You acknowledge my improved state now
Wiped my own tears and picked myself off the ground
Took control, wiped away my tears, and stood up
Truth is all you ever did was let me down
Your actions consistently disappointed me
Now you watch me thrive when you're not around
I flourish in your absence, thriving without you
You are mad because I turned my pain to success
Your anger stems from my turning pain into success
You attack everyone who makes you jealous
You attack those who trigger your jealousy
You can try to drag me down with all the shit you put me through
You attempt to bring me down with your mistreatment
But I don't have time to be sad over someone like you
I won't waste time being sad about you
Don't smile at me when we're in public
Don't pretend to be friendly in public
That stupid look in your eyes
Your expression disgusts me
It makes me nauseous
Makes me feel sick
It took losing you for me to succeed
Success followed the loss of you
I am finally happy
Finally experiencing happiness
Don't smile at me
Repeated emphasis on not smiling at the speaker
Don't
-Don't
-No, no, no
-Don't
-Don't
-No, no, no
-Don't
-Don't
-No, no, no
-Don't
-Don't
-Don't smile at me
-I'm more emotional than most
Admits to being more emotional than most
Yeah, it's nothing new
Not a new revelation
No matter how hurt you are it doesn't give you an excuse
No excuse for hurting others despite personal pain
To ruin someone else's life
Reflecting on not becoming like you
I hope I'll never be like you
Realizing your value wasn't significant to lose
I'm starting to realize you weren't much to lose
Reiteration of jealousy over success
You are mad because I turned my pain to success
Repeating resilience despite attempts to bring down
You attack everyone who makes you jealous
-You can try to drag me down with all the shit you put me through
-But I don't have time to be sad over someone like you
-Don't smile at me when we're in public
Public facade not welcomed
That stupid look in your eyes
Your expression remains unpleasant
It makes me nauseous
Elicits nausea
It took losing you for me to succeed
Success followed the loss of you
I am finally happy
Finally experiencing happiness
Don't smile at me
Repeated emphasis on not smiling at the speaker
Don't
-Don't
-No, no, no
-Don't
-Don't
-No, no, no
-Don't
-Don't
-No, no, no
-Don't
-Don't
-Don't smile at me
-When this happened the first time you broke my heart
Reflecting on heartbreak caused by you
How could your own friends tear you apart?
Own friends contributing to the heartbreak
When this happened the second time I knew it had to end
Realization that the relationship had to end
'Cause I already learned to stay away from
Prior learning to avoid toxic relationships
Toxic friends are killing me
Toxic friends causing harm
Need to put my mind at ease
Need for peace of mind
Whether I'm too sad or I am fake
Whether sad or fake, you were a mistake
You were my mistake
No need for exclusion or feeling used
No need to exclude; make me feel used
Refusal to be manipulated
No, I won't be your tool
Not willing to be a tool for your benefit
Just stay away from me
A clear directive to stay away
Stay away from me
Reiteration of the desire for distance
Don't smile at me when we're in public
Repeated emphasis on not smiling at the speaker
That stupid look in your eyes
-It makes me nauseous
-It took losing you for me to succeed
-I am finally happy
-Don't smile at me
-Don't
-Don't
-No, no, no
-Don't
-Don't
-No, no, no
-Don't
Final warning to refrain from smiling
Don't
Final repetition of the warning
No, no, no
-Don't
-Don't
-Don't smile at me
