• I've sat by and watched her change
    But it's like the world can't see
    She's turned her back on friends
    On family, on life
    But no one seems to notice
    She used to stretch her arms to the skies
    But now it's like she never had wings
    I've watched her change
    The smile become hollow
    The eyes become empty
    The face become a mask
    But it's like no one else can
    Her parents think it's only a phase
    Her friend's think it's the average depression
    Yet no one sees her slipping further
    With every move they make to keep her here
    Secrets burried so far deep
    Walls built up past the stars
    She's playing a game
    Acting a part in the play called life
    It's not real to her
    Yet no one seems to see...

    I watch as she gets ready to hang with her friends
    As she gets ready to put the mask on
    She gets to them and no one seems to notice
    The dried tears under the blush
    The pain in the eyes behind eye shadow
    The cold voice beneath lips in red
    They see the mask
    She's got the world fooled
    Not even the doctors, the shrinks can see it
    Not the teachers, the students
    Not any one

    I watch her change from the girl high on life
    To girl thinking how to end it
    But no one sees it
    They don't see her grip the knife like it's her life line
    They don't see the dents in the closet doors
    They don't see the tears of pain falling from her eyes
    They don't hear the screaming in her head
    The voices she can't control
    The urge to down the bottle of pills in alcohol

    No one sees....

    Except me...

    I'm watching her....

    Watching me...

    Like a bad movie....

    I'm not in my body...

    I'm watching from the outside....

    And no one seems to notice...

    I lost my body....

    To her...
