[ That girl ]

That girl
The one over there
Sitting at the table full of friends?
That girl
The one who is smiling
The one whose happiness never seems to end?
The one who always smiles
The one that never breaks
The one that can take anything
Her smile never shakes.
I happen to know her secret.
The secret that she hides.
Didn't know she had a secret?
Just look deep into her eyes.
Past the smile
The bubbly, wild grin
Past the gates she guards
Letting absolutely no one in.
She's afraid they'll look inside
Look inside and see
The darkness that's inside of her
The darkness that will always be
You see her as wild, outgoing
Careless and free
But she is not all
That she pretends to be
She's gotten good at acting
Better than she thought
No one can see past it
Her little charade.
I'll tell you her secret
If you promise not to tell
If you promise me you'll care for her
And treat her well
If you promise me you'll love her
Promise you'll understand
She's just a little broken
All she needs is a helping hand
Someone to see her through
I'll tell you her secret
And that someone can be you.
Now you see that guy beside her
The one with long dark hair
The one she watches quietly
As he ignores her as if she weren't there
Thing is she was in love with him
And she gave him all she had
A hug, a kiss, a love, a fuck
She gave him her first
First everything
And he left her
Shattered and alone
Broke her into pieces
And no one will ever know.
She told everyone she was fine
Everyone she was okay
Didn't let them know
All she had given away
Given away to him
Though he left her there
She couldn't let anyone
She would never dare.
But she needs someone to hold her
Make her feel like new
To tell her that the mistake she made was okay
There was nothing she could do
Take her hand and smile
Make her feel like home
Make her forget him
Don't leave her all alone.
That girl
The one who is smiling
The one whose happiness never seems to end?
Make her smile real
Make it last till the end.
