After a long hard day
I take off her mask
No longer the good girl
I drink from a flask
She always wore a smile
Today I can’t fake it
I’m not wearing it well
But how could I break it
I needed solid ground
To keep up this facade
But without her here
It all fell apart

I look in the mirror
Wearing my blank stare
I’m over pretending
And too tired to care
The girl that I was
She’s hiding somewhere
There’s no more plain jane
I’m wearing my blank stare

She had her life on straight
But I’d gotten bored
Her smile ever present
But I was ignored
The lies we told them
Even we believed
But she left me alone
In this mess we weaved
I try to move forward
Past what they can see
I’m stuck under the weight
Of who I used to be

I look in the mirror
Wearing my blank stare
I’m over pretending
And too tired to care
The girl that I was
She’s hiding somewhere
There’s no more plain jane
I’m wearing my blank stare

She was there in place
To make me feel numb
To be who they want
Why did I succumb
Her mask wore thin and
My emptiness won
Now I’m dead inside
What have I become

I look in the mirror
Wearing my blank stare
I’m over pretending
And too tired to care
The girl that I was
She’s hiding somewhere
There’s no more plain jane
I’m wearing my blank stare

Love
Roxanne
