pretty as a penny, she never thought any
one could love her for her worth
she listened to the lies told by her own eyes
making her wonder what it's all for

with nobody to love me she finds herself hungry
if only she could have the slightest of taste
thinks that's all she needs to get rid of these
feelings of lost and lonely days

she's done it all except for loving herself
seems to be the last thing she has tried
knowing she may not like the one that she finds
the girl behind the pretty smile

if lying was a crime she'd be guilty every time
when asked by friends how she has been
with perfect alibi she says that she's fine
then goes back to keeping her dark feelings in

where she steps up to bat with the voices in her head
that tell her she'll forevermore be alone
beautiful no doubt both inside and out
though sadly she may never know, giving up hope long ago
