Fade away
She smiles
Laughs away the pain
For a while
She wants to run away
Lock herself in her room
She wants to fade aay
She tries to fade away
She can't now, but may son
She cries
No one hears
Pain held inside
For 13 years
You don't know
Your words cut like knives
She won't let you know
She can't let you know
You laugh at her eight
You laugh at her smile
Her eyes, her hair, her height
Her laugh, no one's heard in a while
She smiles
Laughs away the pain
For a while
She wants to run away
For a while
She starts to fade away.
