You have no idea
How close I am
To the edge
Look at me That girl in the mirror I don't recognize her at all She's something else She's a puppet without the strings, an icon about to fall Perfection comes with ease But inside she's shouting Save me, please You'd never know it, look at her face a glow-
You'd never know. Look in her eyes and you can see--
Chorus: You can't see me through the smoke It lies like tattoos on my skin You can't hear me through the noise That drowns me out, suffocates the silence, kills everything but that voice that smoothers me when I'm alone You can't find me, I'm hidden beneath this lie in a blanket of vulnerability and insecurity Find my eyes and you find open doors
You'd think she's an open book She'd never strike you as the type to fall apart She's so put together But she's living in the dark And nobody knows They've never noticed, they've never cared She always runs before they get too close She runs faster than most She's gone before you know it You don't get a chance to see that a small part of her Lives inside of me
Chorus
I know the truth and I know what you see The difference is easy to see But you can't see me I'm falling behind I'm making sure I hide the real me You'll never see my eyes that don't shine I'll put the mask out on display You fall for the fraud everyday There's no difference in what is and could be You can't heal me You can't save me Now
Chorus
I'm standing here I'm on the ledge all alone I know the truth Everybody knows the lie Everyone will be so surprise When I die If only you had seen me fall Maybe you could have stopped What is and could be
Chorus 2x
She's everything that is and will be
