and one more time
you're so addicted to her eyes
the brightest ones in the world
while she gives you the sweetest smile
but what she hides inside
you can't see behind those pretty eyes
she takes your hand
she takes you to the land
of constant pain and suffering
with a bitter taste behind her lips
behind her lips so sweet
she takes your hand
she takes you to the land
of constant pain and suffering
where so called beauty hides
the emptiness inside
where so called beauty hides
nothing behind those pretty eyes
the blindfold of outer appearance
will keep you down on your knees
suffering the hardest days
resigned to the evil thing
they call beauty
the thing that may hide the coldest heart
the thing that will tear you apart
without any doubts and mercy
while the kindest soul may be given to a person
you don't notice
