You're not like anyone I've ever met You stay in your shell But somehow you trick others Into thinking they're seeing the real you Not the mask you wear Shells are made to protect Yours doesn't When you're left in the playground All by yourself It cuts deep I have a bad feeling You're shells going to shatter when im not around to pick up the pieces, And to tell you how perfect you are Although you say you're fine I see though your mask, your shell You're just a lost kid trying to find where she fits in
