The Show

Looking in the mirror

And what do I see?

A girl in with tears on her cheeks

Seeing blood on her wrists

And a streak though her heart

She says **** me, **** me! Put me out of my pain!"

 

When she's around family, friends or on the phone

She puts on the show

Whoa the show

She stands their smiling

Tears building up inside

What's happening inside her mind?

Oh!

It's the show!

 

She has a problem... She fears the world

Yeah she's friendly

Yea She's nice

But take my advice...

Don't upset her

Don't make her mad!

But it's just that...

 

I put on mascara, heavy eyeliner too

Blush, cover up, eyeshadow, lip gloss too!

But I shouldn't some days!

Cause it washes away,

Through my tears.

 

When I'm with ones who don't know me at all

I but on the Show

And try not to bawl!
