See that girl sat in that chair
Frowning and hiding behind her hair?
She’s stuck in a battle within her mind;
Which part of her will she leave behind?
The war it rages but you’d never know;
All the pain and tears don’t show.
To find her pain, the tears she shed,
You must look for shades of red.
Killing herself to stay alive,
Standing on the edge, ready to dive.
Won’t look back, won’t face the truth
As she throws herself from the roof.
Falling down in the icy dark
She’ll soon be gone, won’t leave a mark.
Silently she sits and cries
As the best of her slowly dies.
But if you looked you’d never see
That she is drowning in her sea.
She threw away all she had,
She sings and smiles as she goes mad.
The smile on her face is painted on
To stop you from knowing everything’s wrong.
Falling apart, giving in
All she ever wanted was to be thin
But you mustn’t breathe a word of this,
Keep the secret, it won’t go amiss.
Mustn’t break the picture perfection,
Keep them looking in the wrong direction.
To struggle here is to be tossed aside
So don’t tell us of your suicide,
Smile as if you have nothing to hide.
She might have lived if you had tried.
