Nobody knows that the girl they see
Everyday is just a fake.
She hides behind a screen,
But you can tell she's ready to break.
The walls securing her start to crumble.
She won't let anyone see her stumble or fall,
But she knows she can't fool them all.
If you could feel her pain
You'd understand everything.
If you could read her mind
You'd be in tears.
Shame and guilt fill up her senses,
Guiding her throughout the years.
You can see right through her
As she tries to hide who she really is.
She's heartbroken and hurt,
Angry and helpless.
No one can save her now,
There's not much more than this.
Her empty eyes tell a story,
If only you were patient enough to hear.
Her faith and trust have been lost now.
And the scars she has won't seem to heal.
She's bruised and remembers
Everything that was ever said or done.
She's full of pain from the past,
She's not who she was.
How long can you hang onto something
That isn't quite there?
How long can you feel like nothing,
And that everyone just stares?
She'll keep walking past them,
Holding tight to her act.
But all she really wants
Is for someone to break the glass.
She's tired of keeping secrets,
She just wants to be heard.
She wants to stop this horrible feeling,
But it seems like no one's willing to step forward first.
