For all those that have ever been told they would look oh so much prettier if only they smiled....Emotional invalidation is fun, ain't it?
lyrics
I've seen
the way you
Go pale
a sad hue
Don't long
for his arms
His words
or phony charms
Sweet nothings
You're nothing
If you need to frown
Don't turn it upside down
Big girls say they don't cry
I wonder what they hide
Cheeks pushed to either side
Show where your teeth reside
Try to let it go
He only wants a show
You only want to cry
Stuck behind the "perfect smile"
Sweet nothings
You're something
If you need to frown
Don't turn it upside down
They say that you're being naive
that your feelings are just a deceit
Oh don't show emotion
just endless devotion
Well I say FUCK THAT and show him a scowl!
He's nothing
You're something
If you need to frown
Don't turn it upside down
If he won't stop his spite
I'll go and pick a fight

Brutally honest lyrics, idiosyncratic and bold production, and one of the most expressive voices around.... What more can you ask for? Make sure to turn the volume set to BUMPING <3 cully
Casey Dienel knows how to articulate emotion through her voice and her ever changing musical expeditions. On Baby, she takes a bold step forward into new territory and comes out winning. Cheers Casey cully
