Says the girl
With a bright red lipped
S M I L E
She always looks happy
She always looks
P E R F E C T
Just waiting on the day
Somebody asks her how life is at
H O M E
Because if you asked her that
She’d say well she would say
That home is just like walking on a pool of
E G G S H E L L S
If you brake to many you'll fall
She’d say you don't know what lifes like when that curtains
C L O S E D
“Daddy always tells me
He's trying to act
T O U G H”
But she’d say he
Treats her more like he wants to
C U T   H E R  O F F
And if you asked about her momma
She’d cry from the
S T A R T
She was cursed by her parents
Never felt real
L O V E
And so
H E L L O
Says the girl
With the red lipped
S M I L E
