Do you know her?
Do you know her?
And what lies behind her sparkling brown eyes
The secrets she hides
And all the times she's had a chance to be the same
Yet she chose to be her.
Do you think her life is full of studying
Just because she rushes to class and never talks?
Do you know the pressure is dropped onto her
Like an anchor into the sea
Finishing homework
And trying to reach the expectations set for her.
Do you know what happens in her life?
Anything that happens at her house?
And the fact she's supposed to be a golden child.
Do you know what made her who she is?
And did you realize that she's attempting more than possible.
Did you realize that she isn't a mile near perfect?
And the way she goes along pretending everything is okay
With a smile on her face
Like her tears never happened
When you look at her,
Can you feel sympathy flow from her?
So I ask you the next time you look into her brown eyes
You will try; try to figure out what has happened.
So I repeat
Do you know her?
And what lies behind her sparkling brown eyes?
