Faceless Beauty


A faceless beauty with out a name Oh, what a shame if you only knew her story You would know her name Just another face in the crowd overlooked by everyone Can anyone see the pain she hides inside Or the scars that cover her skin A Girl with a painful past yet no one wants to ask She tries and tries every day yet She gets lost in the dark inside her A faceless beauty with out a name Oh, what a shame if you only knew her story You would know her name Another girl that is called names If you only knew what she went through You would see her pain and her name marked in blood Along her arm Just another cut Just one more for the pain she feels is nothing compared Compared to the way she feels inside A faceless beauty with out a name Oh, what a shame if you only knew her story You would know her name Another night she cried her self to sleep Another fight she had to endure Another screaming match with her father and mother Another final goodbye written Written just to write it For her family would never find it She can never find the right words to say She can only tell them sorry A faceless beauty with out a name Oh, what a shame if you only knew her story You would know her name The scares that mark her skin are there to say She can no longer stay She tries so hard to leave but can't do what she needs to She tries her best to stay alive but All she wants is to die She writes letters to loved ones All the same story She got called another name She got hit another time She was made cry another time And as time goes by she only wants to say goodbye Another rope pulled tight Another pill taken Staying under for too long A knife to the throat A cut on her wrist Another gun to her head Another attempt to die Another attempt to say goodbye A faceless beauty with out a name Oh, what a shame if you only knew her story You would know her name She tries to get help Yet she cant seem to get better Every time she talks about the black hole she is in All that happens to her is Going deeper into the abyss Just another face in a crowd that no one notices A face that may not be there tomorrow Yet no one see and no one knows A faceless beauty with out a name Oh, what a shame if you only knew her story You would know her name Every time she tries she thinks What would this do Who would find me if anyone She loosens the rope She spits out the pill She gets up from under the water Removes the knife from her throat Takes the gun away from her head A faceless beauty that cant see What she is meant to be Saves her life for another day She wishes someone will know her name and save her Save her from her grave A faceless beauty with out a name Oh, what a shame if you only knew her story You would know her name Poor faceless beauty How can she not see she is beauty How can she not see she is strong She pulled her self from the edge She made herself live another day She gave her self a chance to save the world She gave herself the chance to have love A faceless beauty with out a name Oh, what a shame if you only knew her story You would know her name Another day passes Then a week goes by She Suffers through another month She waits another year to see See if she will get better The new year came and went and nothing changed and now no one will know her name A faceless beauty with out a name Oh, what a shame if you only knew her story You would know her name
