The empty smile
When you look at her
 What do you see?
 Just another person?
 Is that all she'll ever be?
 
 But you can't see
 The girl underneath
 The one with
 A fading belief
 
 She looks for help
 where ever she goes
 But when people look at her
 They dont even know
 
 She's falling apart
 She's giving up
 There's nothing left
 In her cup
 
 She has no joy
 But you can't see
 All the little things
 That would fill her need
 
 Some say she's looking 
 For love
 Others say she needs help
 From above
 
 But she doesn't think she's pretty
 Not even a bit
 And if there really is a God
 Then give her a hint
 
 Because she's done
 She can't do this alone
 People say she needs strength
 But she isn't that strong
 
 When she needs help
 Theres no one around
 So she falls
 And cant get off the ground
 
 She drags herself
 Through each day
 When people ask questions
 She doesn't know what to say
 
 So when you look
 Into her eyes
 Can you see the pain
 Past all the lies?
 
 Can you see the girl
 Barely hanging on?
 The one who doesn't think
 She'll be here for long?
 
 So will you offer her
 That hug or smile?
 Or even that friendship
 That she'll carry for miles?
 
 Because you never know
 Who she might be
 After all...
 She could be me.
