It started at birth
The rules and regulations that spoke the truths she must live
We're cast upon her from the time she began to cry that summer day
As shes been told she watched her mother's perfect version of life fade away
Problems and shouts replaced the sweet calm laughs she used to make
A self image of greatness slipped through her fingers
It started with a whisper
From the girls at school who made her feel less than
To the guys acting like she had no heart
She felt everything
She still does
She feels when the room goes quiet like it's the first snow fall of the year
She sees pain on people faces where it only shows from there eyes all the fear they hide
She's broken
Been struck and brought up to have a heart made of stone
So that in the chance they see you break and chip you away your never exposed
She's been shown the world through everyone's eyes
All the power you see is her disguse
To hide her from the ones who made her start to plead to lose her life
From the snarky comments to the pins and bobbins
She wasn't ever considered perfect
She wears black to mask the way her heart beats on her sleeve
To hide the soul she buries deep
Her make up is a mask she wears so we'll people wouldn't know she just cried
Or that she just spent an hour panicking about a boy who never did anything but take her flowers
He made her feel whole in a broken sort of way
Like everything would be okay if they didn't break up that day
That if he stayed she did right
Cause staying that whole time means he loved her right?
Till the Rose colored glasses fell
And the cheater was caught 6 times in a row
3 weren't even known of
She cried again
As she held on for dear life
Cause this broken girl can't find a home not in her life
No place to go and feel safe
Always on alert
Always play it safe
Don't let it show
The emotion inside
And honestly I dare you to ever speak your mind
It's safe in the now to know what I do
To act like it really never bugged you
So whisper your lies like you always did
And tell me sweet things I wanna get wrapped up in
I'm sorry to say
This girl isn't quite okay
She's broken bruised and hurt
Beaten down in the dirt
So as she climbs up to escape
Don't expect someone you would call sane
She melted back deep into dust
She's changed and soulless she left that in the earth
Becareful she's tired of bullshit and all of the lies
Maybe if the people she loved cared
She wouldn't have to be a heart beyond repair
