Simply Complex

Simple with a smile
Quiet with a giggle
Understanding with a look
Falling for her sweet dear nothing
Happy with a frown
Nervous with a stare
Sincere with her lies
she knows you’re not there
Blank with emotion
Crying without tears
Standing proud but she’s scared
Inside she’s crying a river
Can’t you see...
Can you see...
What she’s hiding
what she’s saying
Holding inside
Standing still she wants to dance
Lying low she wants to stand
Mouth stays shut, she really wants to scream
You should know this now
You should by now
Nothing’s as it seems
Watching you from the window
She wants to say hello
Watching herself drop the conversations
she wants to talk some more
She wants to let it out
but knows it’ll hurt
Puts on her mask
masks a smile
masks a frown
She’ll put it over it over it all
Promises herself
Just one
Her eyes hide behind painted blue
Her mouth beneath sharp rose red
Her face behind pearly white exterior
Her hair is blonde rags
Don’t let it fool you
Don’t let it influence you
She just wants to take it off
