Tear-stained pillows in your bed
Sleepless nights that just never seems to end
Far too many tears and shed
We ca not let this go on
Coz we're your friends

Anguish kept in secrecy
Anguish kept in secrecy

Everywhere we look around
We are told how to act and how to be
Lately you won't even eat
And save up money for beauty surgery

Anguish kept in secrecy
Anguish kept in secrecy
Anguish kept in secrecy

Open up your eyes, see the world for a minute
Nothing is as perfect as we try to paint it
Listen to the storm turning into a breeze
Nothing is as perfect as it seems

We're brought up with fairy tales
Where the good guys are wise and beautiful
In those worlds nobody's plain
All of the bad guys are ugly, mean and dull

But that's not reality
Anguish kept in secrecy
Anguish kept in secrecy

Open up your eyes, face the world for a minute
Nothing is as perfect as we try to paint it
Listen to the storm turning into a breeze
Nothing is as perfect as it seems
