a girl at a desk

If you look at me now, I'm a girl at a desk.
I seem normal, following directions like the rest.

You'd never seen the pain in my mind.
Tears that I successfully hide.

I have a Facebook, a Twitter, and a smart phone.
Looking at my life you wouldn't guess that I always feel alone.

If you look at me now, I'm a girl at a desk.
I seem normal, following directions like the rest.

I've been through a lot, more then you'll ever know.
I've screamed and cried but the pain won't let go.

Try to get close and I'll push you away.
I love you, which is why you can't stay.

If you look at me now, I'm a girl at a desk.
I seem normal, following directions like the rest.

My history is painful, I'm learning to move on.
However, I know some things aren't meant to be gone.

Look into my eyes and you'll see my past.
I'll never understand how I've made it this far, at last.

If you look at me now, I'm a girl at a desk.
I seem normal, following directions like the rest.
