Hidden Truths
She paints her face to hide her pain
Ignoring all but the truth
"He wouldn't do it on purpose
This is love."
Ignoring all but the truth
She denies the rumors spreading 'round
"This is love
He would'nt lie."
She denies the rumors spreading 'round
Mistaking he fears for butterflies
"He wouldn't lie
This is how relationships are supposed to be."
Mistaking her fears for butterflies
She holds his hand with peaking doubts
"This is how relationships are supposed to be
Maybe it will pass."
So she hols his hand with peaking doubts
As he remains unchanging
"Maybe it will pass soon
This has to be love."
He remains unchanging
She continues to hide behind a painted face
"This has to be love
He wouldn't do it on purpose, right?"
AN- The first step to a healthy relationship is knowing what to look out for and what not to do. If something feels "off," it most likely is and should be talked about fixed. Don't fall blindly with unknowing trust. #BECAUSEILOVEYOU
