Inside Out

Outside lives a girl with a smile that will brighten up the room
yet inside hides a girl with a frown full of despair

Outside lives a girl with eyes of joy that brings you to ease
yet inside hides a girl shedding tears of sadness

Outside lives a girl with a beautiful laugh that's contagious
yet inside hides a girl screaming her lungs out in unwanted anger

Outside lives a girl with the personality everyone envies
yet inside hides a girl full of insecurities and shame

Outside lives a girl who is fearless and tough
yet inside hides a weak girl who lives in fear

Outside lives a girl full of life
yet inside hides a girl full of pain, wanting to die

Outside lives a girl with a perfect image
yet inside hides a girl with regrets and mistakes

Outside lives a girl of innocence
yet inside hides a girl with tremendous guilt

Outside lives a girl with goals and aspirations
yet inside lives a girl lost in confusion

What you see on the outside is my personal disguise
What hides underneath you can't even begin to imagine.
