A Beautiful Lie

She blinks back the pain as she starts her day Today like so many in the past She puts on her front for them all to see And like all old lies it fits comfortably She practices her smile in the bathroom mirror Such a happy girl Yes, such a very happy girl Everyone one wants to be who she is She blinks back the pain from her past Tears dont fall, not from these eyes Her heart is not made of glass She wears a smile for all to see And like all old lies it fits comfortably She puts on her lipstick in the bathroom mirror Such a pretty girl Yes, such a very pretty girl Her momma would be proud No one can see the emptiness in her eyes No one hears her scream No one sees who she is inside No one knows what she can be She is just me Just Me
