What you see is what you get?

Lets burn all these bridges
All the words left unsaid
instead of biting my tounge
Want to see the tears that I've bled?
What lies under this smile
More or less a pretty face
What you see isn't what you get
All you are left with is disgrace
You look at me and say oh you're skinny
But its just not good enough for me
Can't you see I'm so broken inside
I have to be as perfect as can be?
I have to make up for the scars
That I need just to survive
I have to be empty to be happy
Long sleeves and jewelry to hide
Yeah wouldnt it be wonderful
if what you see was what you got
The tears i could just push away
I could just act like I forgot
But wait
I already am
Its just an act i put for you
A little mask thats on display
Below the surface a broken girl lies
And she'll never be ok
