miss sick world - Alex Porat, Stephanie Poetri

Where I have to fake tears when I’m laughing

Smile when I’m unhappy

Everybody’s reaching for the crown

But I don’t want it

I try to tell myself that I’m an optimist

Crying on my own, it gave me thicker skin

But really in the end it feels the opposite

Thinking all my friends they really wore me in like a pair of Dr. Martens

I close my eyes

And small specs of light are there dancing through my eyelids

Spiralling in the middle of the night

I close my eyes and I’m who I wanna be

Wake up and they won’t let me, let me

I don’t wanna be miss world (Miss World)

Not in this sick world (Sick world)

Where I have to fake tears when I’m laughing

Smile when I’m unhappy

Everybody clapping when I’m down

Don’t need to be miss world

No, not in this sick world (Sick world)

Where I gotta pretend that I got this

When I’ve fucking lost it

Everybody’s reaching for the crown

But I don’t want it

Everything is sunshine and daffodils

They say there is a way if I have got the will

But I don’t want to fit in if I have to be a clone

No, I don’t want to fit in at all

I close my eyes

And small specs of light are there dancing through my eyelids

Spiralling in the middle of the night

I close my eyes and I’m who I wanna be

Wake up and they won’t let me, let me

I don’t wanna be miss world (miss world)

Not in this sick world

Where I have to fake tears when I’m laughing

Smile when I’m unhappy

Everybody clapping when I’m down

Don’t need to be miss world

No, not in this sick world

Where I gotta pretend that I got this

When I’ve fucking lost it

Everybody’s reaching for the crown

But I don’t want it
