• you're crying again today...

    you usually laugh, or smile at least
    using fashion and jewelry to hide your grief
    run from the past,
    but the past it fast
    carrying your pain with it and going full blast

    the approval you need
    the rejection youve felt
    pretty tears that make my own eyes melt

    "im so ugly," you say
    but that's not true
    but i know i cannot convince you

    so many pains and chains that bind
    seeking love to help you leave the pain behind
    problems and issues that blow my mind
    these things seem beyond me so i can only be kind

    i know not what to do
    i can only support
    i simply watch over you

    i am a pair of eyes
    i am your camera, recording your show
    you dance through life, ever falling
    your dance is like a continuous fall with pauses

    at rock bottom, you shatter into a million pieces
    i picked them up but i noticed you grew
    still stained by the past...you grew just a tad

    pretty girl, silly girl
    there will be so much more pain
    in every life there will be rain
    you have so far to go

    i'll watch you pretty girl with these eyes of mine
    but these eyes have noticed the addition of gentle hands
    that can support you for some time

    one day...the stains will fade and you will shine
    you'll stand up, look into the nearest mirror and say...
    "I'm...pretty?"
