Here's to the girl
Who was too good at faking a smile
Because she forgot what it was like
To smile for real

Here's to the girl
That got so used to being asked
How's your dad? Sister? Anyone but you?
She forgot to feel

Here's to the girl
Who heard voices in her head saying
You're not worth it. You'll never succeed.
She began to hear nothing else

Here's to the girl
Who got pushed away by everyone
Her friends, her family, her world
And, eventually, herself

Here's to the girl
Who can't ask for help
Because she's too busy
Helping

Here's to the girl
Who locked everything up
And can't let anyone in
Because she's scared

Here's to the girl
Who's broken beyond repair
But no one can ever see it
Hidden behind her fake smile
