Picture Perfect

Picture Perfect She wakes up every morning Makes him breakfast and his coffee Packs his lunch and folds his laundry Picture Perfect Sends him off to work with a kiss upon the cheek Tells him that she loves him Even though her heart is weak Picture Perfect She puts her makeup on, sure to cover every bruise Behind the lens, all is well No one wiser to the abuse Picture Perfect
