I'm happy for the love and all of the above
If I'm being honest, I done been through way too much

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
I can't fake another smile

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Fuck a fake smile, smile
Fuck a fake smile, fake smile

[Verse 2: Ariana Grande]

But baby, I'm grateful, I want you to know
I'm happy for the love and all of the above
If I'm being honest, I done been through way too much
