I steal it back from her familiar gaze
Tried it on for size
Slipped into her new disguise
Now this face is mine

She has it all
Everything I know
Too bad she isn’t real
Built into the shadows

My life was bruised but never broken
Inside I’m screaming out
Then she puts on her happy grin
If I let her out, she’ll run away

She has it all
Everything I know
Too bad she isn’t real
Built into the shadows

I envy her carefree life
The smile we all stop to look up at
Without you I can’t survive
Don’t leave me here uncovered
Don’t leave me here alone

She has it all
Everything I know
Too bad she isn’t real
Built into the shadows

Living in the shadows

A face smiles at me on the wall
I steal it back from her familiar gaze
Tried it on for size
Slipped into her new disguise
Now this face is mine

She has it all
Everything I know
Too bad she isn’t real
Built into the shadows

My life was bruised but never broken
Inside I’m screaming out
Then she puts on her happy grin
If I let her out, she’ll run away

She has it all
Everything I know
Too bad she isn’t real
Built into the shadows

I envy her carefree life
The smile we all stop to look up at
Without you I can’t survive
Don’t leave me here uncovered
Don’t leave me here alone

She has it all
Everything I know
Too bad she isn’t real
Built into the shadows

Excellent, excellent poem!
It has me quietly pensive at the moment.
Wow.
