Everyone's Fooled

She has everyone fooled 
The perfect smile
With the body to go with it 
Everyone thinks she is happy go lucky 

Only she knows the truth 
The darkness behind the smile 
Nothing but betrayal 
Hides behind her icey-blue eyes

If only they knew 
They wouldn't stay around 
Her life is a lie 
A double life she lives

Keeping her emotions at bay 
To keep loved ones happy 
Hiding the her beneath the beauty
She has them all fooled
