ORDINARY GIRL

Behind those gorgeous eyes
There lies a twisted world.
But out here on the surface,
She's an ordinary girl.

She fights a losing battle,
One she cannot win.
And unlike other battles,
The evil lies within.

The inches quickly falling,
The pounds peeling away,
But she still lives in constant fear,
Afraid the weight will stay.

Glassy eyes are wet with tears,
But she will never tell.
Pain inside won't fade away,
But still she hides it well.

Behind these gorgeous eyes,
There lies a twisted world.
But I will never show you,
I'm not your ordinary girl.

Friends keep on asking,
Trying to pull me out.
But I just don't know what to say,
Can you hear a silent shout?

Can you read it in my eyes?
See it on my face?
Deep inside it hurts,
Deep inside there's space.

Silently I'm screaming,
But don't want you to hear.
Outwardly I'm smiling,
But deep inside there's fear.

Behind MY gorgeous eyes,
There lies a twisted world.
And I'm afraid it will get out,
I'm not your ordinary girl.
