Perfect Mask

I've gotta act it out Like the perfect little girl Everyone wants me to be I've gotta act it out Or I may loose my world And everything in front of me I've gotta act it out Cause I can't afford a loss Because I just barely have myself I've gotta act it out No matter what cost There won't be any help I've gotta act it out Even if it hurts to smile I just can't afford to miss a line I've gotta act it out Crying inside all the while On the outside I look just fine I've gotta act it out Just like that perfect little girl Everyone thinks I am going to be I've gotta act it out But then again this world Maybe is not suitable to me

Despite the repetition of the first line in each verse, this is decently descriptive.
