Pretty Girls Don't Cry

The lies I tell

The truth that hides

The hate I feel

The tears I've cried

The fear I have 

The cut that bleeds

The crave that burns

To fulfill my needs

The darkness fills

The open door

The cycle begins

The sorrow pours

You don't know how and you don't know why,

But in the light, pretty girls don't cry

They close the doors and walk away

Only hearing what the demons say

They try to shout but no one hears

Only emptiness to dry their tears

You don't know how and you don't know why,

But in the light, pretty girls don't cry

Her friendly smile

The hugs she gives

Never knowing

The secret life she live

The distant mom

The dead-beat dad

The family love

She never had

The faith holding on

The bond that ties

The pain it brings

The connection dies

You don't know how and you don't know why,

But in the light pretty girls don't cry

She hides her tears and dries her eyes

Her secret pain builds by and by

There is no hope

There's nothing there

Only lonliness and her despair

You don't know how and you don't know why,

But in the light pretty girls don't cry

The words that read

The tales we speak

The depression rising 

To its peak

The rain that falls

The thunder crashing

This agony

So everlasting

The love we want 

The hate we feel

Emotions erupt

This life so real

You don't know how and you don't know why,

But in the light, pretty girls don't cry

We bottle up and crumble in

Pray to God to forgive ours sins

We're so confused

Completely lost

To be pretty

At whatever cost

You don't know how and you don't know why,

But in the light pretty girls don't cry

The shadow builds

Our lives a hell

The truth that hides

The lies we tell
