All her life, she's been so afraid.
Afraid of opinions, of words that hate.
All her life, she's been in the background,
Slowly being dragged down.

All her life, she's been broken.
Broken from all her hoping.
Dreams, they don't ever come true.
It's something they say just to hurt you.

Faking a smile,
Yet all the while,
She's breaking inside,
But she can't cry.

Forcing a laugh,
She's about to snap.
No one can see her real self,
They think she's like everyone else.

Falling to pieces,
No one to witness.
What do you do, when you say you're fine,
But you're really hurting on the inside?

Falling to pieces,
She's falling into pieces.

All her life, she takes her time, takes another step.
Inside, she's hoping to just forget.
But you can't, you can't, how can you forget it?
Her heart, her heart, heavily it sits.

All her life, nothing goes right,
She knows not to fight.
Play it safe, play it cool,
Don't be caught looking like a fool.

Putting on a mask,
One that no one cares to look past.
It's happy and cheerful,
Just like a nice girl.

All her life, she's been afraid,
Of words, and people, anything that degrades.
Had a voice, but chose not to use it.
Her fuse is starting to become lit.

Falling to pieces,
No one to witness.
What do you do, when you say you're fine,
But you're really hurting on the inside?

Falling to pieces,
She's falling into pieces.

She took one more step,
And saw the way out of this mess.
Trigger to the head,
"I'm not afraid," she said.

Falling to pieces,
No one to witness.
What do you do, when you say you're fine,
But you're really hurting on the inside?

Falling to pieces,
She fell into pieces.
