To Know The Truth

by brie kelly wise   Feb 9, 2008


My head is propped up with my knees
My brain floats against the bathroom door
My mother screams from the other room
Telling me to go to bed
All I can do is turn the music up louder
Sarcasm got me into this trouble
My wits cried my eyes to sleep

Early Monday morning
Cut my Levi's open and break out the mascara
I hide my pretty eyes as I pass my mother
Avoiding the conversation about how I changed
I washed the beauty out of my blonde hair 3 years ago
A teenage masquerade runs through my blood

I crawl into his arms on another Friday night
His lips wrapped around my words like we were,
Five years ago, and nothings changed
I drown in the oh so sweet three words
It's all my heart can take on a night like this
A teenage mystery lies behind these hands

Danger lurks around those who want it most
Who said my eyes were open
And how I told you I'd here when you get back
And how I told you to not be afraid to let go
But hold on for a lifetime, stuck in my head
How can I lie like this when we're so young

I'm running out of pages in my diary
To explain how this happened
But I can cry it all out when I get home
At least I can't say I was around the most
Out of every face behind every mask
I was the girl with the pretty eyes
