Soft scarlet lips

Soft scarlet lips
slow steady sips
drinking up a glass of life and
she never cries
all her emotions have died
but she doesn't know it
no she doesn't know it
you tell her that she is beautiful
but she doesn't believe it
you tell her you love her
even though she can't see it
you tell her to stop
stop bringing herself down
but she won't let it happen
no she won't let it happen
soft scarlit lips
slow steady sips
drinking up a glass of life
she never cries
all her emotions have died
but she just can't see it
