Behind the Disguise

You are hurting her,
more than you know.
Cuz she won't admit it
Her feelings won't show.

You lacerate her,
stroke after stroke
then you kiss that bitch
she's been broken.

You are breaking her,
into small pieces.
As you ignore her,
true brain function ceases.

You have broken her
She's lying on the floor.
Sobbing uncontrollably
as you walk out the door.

Look behind her eyes,
Find the girl behind,
The mask she uses as a shield.
Cuz there's no place to hide.

Don't you see she loves you?
Don't you see she cares?
Don't you see she hate herself?
She's pulling out her hair.
Maybe if you were to
open up your eyes,
you would see the pain
behind the disguise.

You are hurting her,
more than you know.
Cuz she won't admit it
Her feelings won't show.
