Untitled

Fake smiles. Pretty eyes.
All inside these little white lies.
Dead inside but that's okay.
I still exist day after day.

Heartbroken, Oh well.
That just makes this a living hell.
But that's okay.
I still exist day after day

Oh I don't know how it happened 
Like a song you half-ways forgot.
I fell in love, oh what a joy.
Sickly sweet, like the smell of rot.

She was beautiful, but they always are.
Blue Green eyes and brown hair 
A smile like starlight
Broke my heart without a care

She left me (they always do)
I'm angry, hurt and confused
During the night, I don't know what to do 
To lack happiness is what I do.

Her fake smiles. Her pretty eyes.
All inside those little white lies
Dead inside? That's okay.
I'll still exist day after day.

Heartbroken? Oh well
That just makes "life" a piece of hell.
But that's okay.
Because I'll still endure day after day.

Because I'll never forget.
That first "true" love.
Tragic and painful
Like a dead dove
