Look in the mirror,
Make a face.
Open the bag and let it all fall out.
A little bit here, a little bit there.
Another color here and another and another.

Put down the brush,
The mask is complete.
Will they be happy now?
Will I?

Line the eyes,
Dot the lips,
Blot.
Oops, missed a spot.

Guess it's as good as it's gonna get...
Will they be happy now?
Will I?
Out the door,
Time to face the critics.

Don't be afraid to hold back,
Don't be afraid to say no.
Don't listen to his pleas,
Don't listen to their accusations, calling you a tease.
It's your body girl, just say no.

He'll tell you he loves you,
He'll say he'll hold you forever.
But what happens when the pill doesn't work?
What happens when the ****** breaks?
Or just when he finds someone else?
He'll take a part of you,
A part you on't get back.

You're gonna look in the mirror,
You're gonna curse yourself,
You're gonna curse him.
Listen girl, don't bring this upon yourself,
Save the heartbreak,
Save the hatred,
Just say no.

I see you tremble,
I see you shake,
Trying to figure out how to make your escape.

You didn't think he'd come,
You didn't think he'd show,
But he did.

Bile rises in your mouth,
Stomach churns,
Images play in your head.
Remembering everything that happened,
Everything that he did.

He took everything from you.
Your life,
Your joy,
Your security,
Your innocence.
Open your eyes, decide.
Clench your fists,
Walk past.
Take it all back and send the ******* straight to Hell.

It's dark down here...
In my hole...
Someone please save me!

It echos down here with my calls for help...
I don't like it down here!
How did I get down here?
I was pushed...
By who, you ask?
Everyone...

On the way down, I got scarred.
Razor sharp words and actions cut my arms and wounded me.
I fell and became broken...
And now?
I can't seem to get out...

Dam up the river,
Dry those eyes,
Throw away your fears.

Hold your breath,
Let it out slow.
Fake a smile,
Put on a good show.

Hold all of the secrets,
Hold all of the pain,
Lord knows you'll never be the same.

Day after day,
Crying out into the night.
The same nightmare,
The same scare,
The same fear,
The same prayer.
"Just let it end..."

I left my heart on your bedroom floor,
Like ***** laundry it was dropped.
What was I thinking?
Where was my mind?
Why did I think it would be different this time?

A beautiful night,
Our first kiss.
The memories haunt me...

I left my heart on your bedroom floor;
Forgotten, it was carelessly dropped.
Hopefully you remember it whenever you look at her.

A small slip of the tongue,
A simple flick of the wrist,
Something innocent like a first kiss,
And everything we know comes crashing down.

One love.
One choice.
One mistake.
But this is the price for the risks we take.

We can't always see,
We don't always care,
And the only thing left is the pain we all share.
Sometimes we're broken and we don't know why,
But all we can do is try.

Find the beauty in it all.
The forgiveness of a friend,
The light in the dark,
And the beautiful memories on which, in the storm, you'll depend.
