Hours in front of the mirror
Layers of makeup on her face
Her cries of pain you never here
Because a smile is always in place
The cheerfulness on the outside
Is no match for what's within
We all have a story to hide
A battle we will never win
People don't take the time to look
Give a second thought to care
Just like the cover of a book
All she wants you to ever know right is there
Perfect is the word for use
To say what her life is
But that couldn't be farther from the truth
But no one ever sees this
The eyes that hide the tears
The smile that hides the pain
The memories that are hidden there for years
Because the happiness is something she can feign
