Can you see that girl?
She's so beautiful...
Full of life, full of laughter
Can't you see that its all pretend?

Can you see that girl?
She's so miserable...
Full of lies, full of pain and sorrow
Don't you know that she wants it to end?

Who is it that you see?
The one on the top of the world?
Or the one thats trapped beneath?
Who is it that you hear?
The one always laughng, always joyful?
Or the one always crying, who's life is so painful

She wishes she didn't have to be both
Stumbling through life, barely able to cope
She wishes she could really smile
Without secretly crying all the while

Can you see that girl?
The one who succeeded, and is about to fly?
Can you see that girl?
The one who failed, and is about to die?

Well both girls had different friends
Razor and knife, and a soulmate for life
Well both girls' lives are going to end
When they join forces and give in tonight

So say goodbye, 
To your family and friends
And say goodnight,
You won't see them again
