Never that one girl

Oh, you know the one
That girl thats guys long after
Their eyes follow after her

Oh, I've seen it, but you know...
I have to be the friend, so I ignore
Thats what a good girl friend does
Despite the fact that she is broken hearted
More like I am broken hearted

I play the role beautifully.
Let me tell you, I should win some award
Or atleast something

But no, I go on
Eventually one by one
they over see me and go after her
The other women.

And then there is the introductions
That fake smile I have so adapted
The tears come next, later, much later
Usually alone, in the shower, or bed

Facing the fact I am forever the girl friend

Wanting to be seen
No mask to hold
Tear streaming down
Smearing a painted smile

Seeing comfort fade
A vulnerablility never shown
My weakness finally giving way

Something to behold
A true reality of myself

A broken picture
