Smelling a Dead Rose
She can make anything look more than amazing behind her smile
Guess that’s why she hides the pain so well
Believing she is all alone in the world with no one to save her
She says I know, I know, I know to hide ignorance
Always asking the world why
When the answers reside beneath her pride
Always in her feelings but doesn’t know what she’s feeling
And everyone else is constantly telling her what they know
Trying to help a dying soul with broken hands
Where is the confidence

She says I know you will say you understand but how can you
You haven’t seen the pain in my heart bleeding through my skin
All she wanted was his attention, his eyes looking her way, his hands protecting her, her foot prints left in his mind, and a love with no ceilings
He seemed to want everything else
