Behind Her Pretty Eyes
She cries
While the children sleep at night
She's broken
But tells you she's alright
She grieves
The death, betrayal and lies
She hides
Behind her pretty eyes
She's strong
It's the only way she knows
She's steady
Despite the many blows
She presses on
When most would fall to pieces
She's consistent
Her courage never ceases
