My Silent Bravery

The Girl You Think You Know

My Silent Bravery


She sleeps with makeup on
Skinny jeans are painted on like always
Some things she won’t confess
And always shows up overdressed at parties

High heels and push up bra
She rocks a knock off louis viton on mondays
Selfies in fancy cars
She poses like a movie star on broadway

Trading fiction, she's addicted
Hungry for your love

The girl you think you know
Is so in fashion
Dying on the inside
Crying on the inside
The truth is all for show
And paid with plastic
Dying on the inside
Crying on the inside

Sunglasses to disguise
They hide the sadness in her eyes
It’s cloudy
Two shots to numb the pain
Her emptiness she can’t explain
She’s drowning

Trading fiction, she's addicted
Hungry for your love

The girl you think you know
Is so in fashion
Dying on the inside
Crying on the inside
The truth is all for show
And paid with plastic
Dying on the inside
Crying on the inside

I know there’s more to her
Behind the painted veil
Underneath this fairy tale
There’s beauty in her smile
It’s gold and real to me
That’s the girl I choose to see

The girl you think you know
Dying on the inside
Crying on the inside

The girl you think you know
Is so in fashion
Dying on the inside
Crying on the inside
The truth is all for show
And paid with plastic
Dying on the inside
Dying on the inside
