Off To Bed

I get out of the shower And wrap my towel round me Then I stand face to face With the girl I seem to be I analyze everything Then I take a second look Not just on appearance But the chances I should’ve took It hurts seeing my reflection Knowing I'm this girl I have to look away Or chances are I’ll hurl I put my PJ’s on And think about today I don't wanna stay for tomorrow I wanna go away Soon there's a lump in my throat And the tears begin to fall I need someone to help me But there's no one at all With one last look I see myself My eyes that are beat red I wipe them better put on a smile Then go right off to bed.
