Behind all the Pretty Makeup and Fake Smiles
Shh…
Be quiet, can you hear that?
The glares
The insults
The gossip
Congrats, seems like you’re the new hot topic
“I love your shoes, you’re so pretty”
But when you turn down that wing,
You know they’re thinking the opposite thing
You can feel their eyes sting
On the back of your neck
Just waiting for a comment
So they can attack
Oh sure, they have your back
With all the rumors and lies
That plays with your mind
On and on, that goes on for miles
But hey!
You signed up for it
With the pretty makeup and fake smiles....
