The Facade


Three friends walk side by side No one knowing what the others hide The first wants a pet Giraffe But he feared the others would laugh It was his biggest dream And he swore they would only be mean The second loves a girl So much he wants to hurl But she has someone else And he’s afraid to tell her himself The third loves the first But he think’s it’s a curse It makes him cold As he rejects his very soul So they walk on Laughing like nothing’s wrong
