But when she took her makeup off
I couldn't help but notice
How beautiful she was without it.
I would have told her, but I've told her before
And she never believed me.
Years of words of stupid people
Trying to feel better about themselves
Have stolen her trust from me.
Because when I tell her what I think
My pretty words are no match for the dark ones
She has heard all her life from others
As well as herself.
So people from her past have taken her belief
And left me with almost nothing
Trying to hold onto
A friend who's fading away.
