Verse 1:

Her eyes are rimmed a puffy red
Cuts faded into scars that had bled
When was the last time this child's been fed
She has been worn down by years of neglect

She's been in torment for so long
Kept up the fight but didn't feel strong
Apologizes for everything she's done wrong
Falling and falling until she is gone

Pre-chorus:

She fights, she fights
Through the darkness for a light
She cries, she cries
Almost every single night
But no matter how much she shouts out
The silence quickly makes it die
Can you see it in her eyes?

Chorus:

Under her eyes, In her eyes
Is evidence that she gets no sleep
Under her smile, Under her sleeves
Scars are hidden with a fake ID
Under her disguise, Under her lies
Her true feelings are locked in deep
Under her self-esteem and the loss of her gleam
She doubts everything, a cliff too steep

Verse 2:

Practically skin and bones
Loses weight to look pretty
Thinks that she's getting better
Instead she ends up way too skinny
Has been ripped into pieces
Slowly torn apart in two
Won't be able to hang on much longer
Someday, the rope of life will break loose

Pre-chorus:

She fights, she fights
Through the darkness for a light
She cries, she cries
Almost every single night
But no matter how much she shouts out
The silence quickly makes it die
Can you see it in her eyes?

Chorus:

Under her eyes, In her eyes
Is evidence that she gets no sleep
Under her smile, Under her sleeves
Scars are hidden with a fake ID
Under her disguise, Under her lies
Her true feelings are locked in deep
Under her self-esteem and the loss of her gleam
She doubts everything, a cliff too steep

Bridge:

She fights, she fights
She cries, she cries
But does anyone ever think about
What's going on in her mind?
Can you see it, just what she's feel'n
It can only be described, deep in her eyes

Chorus:

Under her eyes, In her eyes
Is evidence that she gets no sleep
Under her smile, Under her sleeves
Scars are hidden with a fake ID
Under her disguise, Under her lies
Her true feelings are locked in deep
Under her self-esteem and the loss of her gleam
She doubts everything, a cliff too steep
