She

Outwardly she appears to have everything 
     but not what she needs
        his touch
       his gaze 
       just his presence 
         would fill the empty places 
         SHE covers up her lonliness 
         Cause people shouldn't see her this way 
        SHE learned long ago that being sad left you friendless 
            so happy is what SHE projects 
           Even if it's not what SHE is
             A hard life SHE has
               But there are few who care enough to ask  
                Yeah SHE won the popularity contest long ago
                    yet She feels empty
                         Desprate for a change
                               SHE cries at night
                            Cause SHE lost her daddy  
                                    In a instant he vanished
                                      SHE had to grow up
                                         Life forced her to be tough
                                    SHE is me
                                      SHE is weak 
                                      SHE has everything
                                           So what keeps her up at night? 
                                               Something is missing.
