Another Look

There's no one that feels the pain more than I.

You may see my smile, but you don't see me cry.

Behind this mask, I'm not so sturdy.

I come from a past that's full of drama and it's rather dirty.

I've tried to run away.

I've tried to be better.

I've lived my life trying to be the go-getter.

I'm not so secretive, I just don't want to get burned.

I've been through that too many times before.

I can only hope that this time the pain is overturned.

So take another look and tell me what you see

Cause when I look in my reflection,

all I see is a lost, little girl

staring back at me.
