LYRIC FOR SALE

By Caitlyn Callery

Yours is the smile that lights the heavens,
Yours is the laugh that beats the rain,
And everyone will say
You brighten up the darkest day.
Nobody looks to see the pain.

Yours is the face that sparks the daylight,
Pushing the night back out of view,
The clouds that line the sky
Disappear when you walk by,
Nobody sees the real you.

Nobody but me ever looks to see the real you.

I see the tears you shed in private,
I see the wounded agony,
Despair you tried to hide
From the people at your side,
Nobody sees it all but me.

The smile you give the world
Is the oyster round the pearl,
The shell around the girl,
The girl I know.
The face that holds the sun
Always promises such fun,
Another moonlight run.
It’s all for show.

And nobody but me ever looks to see the real you.

Yours is the face that sparks the daylight,
Pushing the night back out of view,
The clouds that line the sky
Disappear when you walk by,
Nobody sees the real you.

Nobody but me ever looks to see the real you.
