    Paint

     They paint me plain
    They paint me beautiful
    Can they not see that I
    Grow colder every day

    The face of a ghost
    Lips of a red rose
    Eyes that tell a story
    Of a girl with no soul

    Even with the glitter
    the color they try to add
    there is no spirit there to catch
    there is nothing left

    they paint me plain
    they paint me beautiful
    they paint pictures of a girl
    who never let herself be seen
