Oh Why Oh Why?
Her eyes
Even a million stars could never be as bright
People blinded with her light
But behind the light theres a girl 
A girl who pretends to be happy
Oh why oh why could no one see 
Behind her mask 
Behind who she pretends to be 
There's someone 
Someone cold, dead, far from reality
Why oh why could no one see
happy is what she's pretending to be
She doesnt know 
it's ok 
not be ok 
Oh why oh why does she
lay in her bed 
Thinking about everything she's ever said
Eating away her feelings 
Thinking she's fat 
So she eats some more 
It's a cycle no one can see
Oh why oh why couldn't she notice
She is the one leading the war 
The war that is in her mind
She doesn't even try to fight 
She's given up
Oh why oh why could no one see
She has things she's hiding
Scary things, unwanted things, 
things that are so deep, so dark
She no longer knows how to sleep
She gets up looks at herself in the mirror
she doesn't see what other people see 
She sees the ugly monster she believes to be
She wishes this not even upon her greatest enemy
Why oh why did this have to be 
Oh why couldn't she see
She's just like everybody 
Because everybody is meant to be.
