She stands in front of the mirror
In a little black dress and
Hot pink pumps on her feet
Ready to take on the world
In a heartbeat
Only those eyes of hers give away
Her tears smudge the mascara on their way
How ludicrous had she been?
The betrayal coming she hadn't seen
But she ain't getting second chances
To sit over and cry
So she straightens her back
And dabs her eyes dry
Just another coat of red lipstick
And she'd be ready to go
Those daunted eyes hidden by those painted lips
And the world would never know.
