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
