She tries so hard but no one sees
The perfect person she tries to be
She breaks down once and its a crime
She promises she'll hide her pain next time
People don't realize Shes Under pressure
They don't Understand that she's a treasure

Her mother is the worst, expects the world
Too much to ask from one simple girl
Shes always pleasant and gets good grades
Never talks back and always obeys
But oh no, thats not enough
She has to be perfect to earn Mommys love

[Chorus}
She is awfully lonely and cold
She wants someone amazing to hold
She wants someone who will believe he has the world
The most wonderful girl

Of course, theres more than just Mommy dear
Theres a matter of school and a matter of peers
They judge her every chance they get
Theyve judged her ever since they met
Shes not going to be perfect but its worth a try
This way shell have a goal to live by


Obviously her wish will never come true
So trying even harder is all she can do
She'll never be enough, that she knows
But she'll keep smiling until her sadness shows
Every time she smiles, I see a frown
Every time she looks up, she's really looking down
She wipes her face lined with mascara tears
She says she was laughing if anyone hears
