Intensive course in faking smiles

These feel a bit clumsy in places, but I like the idea, I will refine these later.

That stupid grin you wore
all day upon your face
as you watched angels fall
in and out of grace

It didn't make you real,
it didn't give you life,
It didn't make you feel
as if you were alive

it only made you weak,
it took your soul apart,
your eyes just looked so bleak,
it nearly broke my heart

Today I wiped your face
of all the scorn and lies
Today I made you gaze
upwards for the first time

My bullet found your chest
and your heart gave away
Lie in eternal rest,
Your face is honest now.

For some reason the last line is the only one that doesn't sound quite right. It's balanced and all that but I can't place it. It may be because of the ABAB sounds , not necessarily rhyming in all but the first verse that throws it. But I thought it was cool withthat slight bit of morbidness at the end.
Cool.

Didn't like it. Too sudden, too short to get a feel for it. Short can be good, but I just felt this time it wasn't right.

I really like that last line. That last two stanzas, really, are concise and vivid. The first two stanzas can use some work. It's up to you how you want to approach that, if at all.
