Take Everything Away

When you take away all the fake smiles and forced laughs

Take away all things that I've conviced myself that I am

Your left with a girl 

A shy naive girl who can barely stand 
 
To look herself in the mirror
 
Now I don't wear makeup often
 
But I might as well be
 
If you turned all of the forced laughter
 
And fake smiles
 
Into makeup
 
Baby, I'd be a barbie doll
