Pose for the portrait
Look pretty, be still
In all the facade they’ll never know
The secret battles you’ve fought
All alone
They’ll never sing your song
You’ve kept it locked away so long
They’ll never know your story
Hidden behind all your glory
Your pain is but your own
Too scared to share it with anyone
The past has hurt you much
But you never let it show
Pose for the portrait
Pretty girl, be still
You’ve done this before
And you’ll do it a thousand times more
You are but your own
In this physical world that is
They’ll never know
