The girl with Painted eyes
What do you think she feels behind her painted eyes?
the make up hides that she can feel.
it hides that she can cry.
didn't you know that words do hurt?
Can't you tell the painted eyes are a disguise?
She is no hero, no soldier.
She cries at night.
She cuts at night.
She wishes she could die at night.
but behind those painted eyes...
she also knows
one day you will fall
and she will rise
and you will have no paint to hide with
no friends to run with
So the girl with painted eyes
cries and waits
waits for you to fall
And she will laugh her ass off.
the make up hides that she can feel.
it hides that she can cry.
didn't you know that words do hurt?
Can't you tell the painted eyes are a disguise?
She is no hero, no soldier.
She cries at night.
She cuts at night.
She wishes she could die at night.
but behind those painted eyes...
she also knows
one day you will fall
and she will rise
and you will have no paint to hide with
no friends to run with
So the girl with painted eyes
cries and waits
waits for you to fall
And she will laugh her ass off.
