Mascara

I dare you to look
Straight into my eyes
And open up your ears
While listening to my cries

Every day as I wake up
The first thing I feel is pain
Then as I walk outside
It�s always pouring rain

Most people do not see
Some even think it\'s wrong
To take a look, stop, and try
To help another carry on

You think that I\'m always happy?!
You think that I\'m fine?!
It�s just an act I put on
Like this life weren�t mine

Though I�m laughing during the day
I always come home in fright
I go straight up to my room
And cry the rest of the night

I could sit and tell my stories
Of why I feel this way
But there is not a point
Because then you wouldn�t stay

Most get up and leave me
When they hear of all my pain
Ignored, like if these tears of mascara
Were caused by the weather or rain

So i\'m gonna keepp on pretending
Like I have been all these years
But maybe if you look closely
You might just see my tears

Go ahead and ask
Please don�t be shy
I need to talk about it
I can�t just hide

They say �all this over a guy�
It�s not that I�m insane
Saving me from drowning in my tears
The thing is, he was my drain

I just can�t help but cry�
