You said you'd love me
No matter what I did--
I understand
You said it was alright
To have bad days--
I understand
You said that I could
Make my own decision--
I understand
You said it was okay
If we disagreed--
I understand
I understand that they were
Empty words
And that in actuality
You want me to be
A Sunshine Girl
All the time
I understand.
I'll go back to faking my smile.
I'll go back to crying in secret.
If you want me to be happy
I will be.
Don't worry about me--
If you ever have, I mean.
It's alright.
I understand.
If you don't want me to show you who I really, please don't say you do.
