Innocent she walks into the empty room
The curtains drawn she's ready to rehearse
With a tear in hand
She smiles on command

She's torn between the truth and reality
Nothing ever ends the way it should
All that they expect is that she'll look pretty
But truthfully she'd trade it if she could
hey yeah, la da da da da

CHORUS 1:
Everything's going wrong
I can't always be this strong
Greeting them with a smile
I'm trapped in my own denial

Another day to waste away in apathy
While everybody else thinks she's just fine
She plays the part but all she really wants to say is
How hard is it to read between the lines

CHORUS 2:
Everything's going wrong
I can't always be this strong
What if I held my breath
Would anyone notice it

Looking at this reflection
Demanding perfection
Scared of rejection
What I saw before
I'm no longer sure

CHORUS 3:
Everything's going wrong
I can't always be this strong
Muffled beneath the crowd
Screaming without a sound

CHORUS 4:
Beauty is everything
Everything's beautiful
Not everyone sees the same
Finally the curtain tore
I found what I'm living for
He's given me so much more

Innocent she walks into the crowded room
With open hands she's ready to reveal
The truth that's been concealed
The way she really feels.
