Rainbows, Butterflies, and Suicides

She's got her attitude and her smile,
and just denies that she's in denial,
She walks around like she's got it all,
But she ain't what she is in the hall.

She barks out rules like she owns the place,
they'd see her pain if they saw her face.
Preps and Jocks is her clique,
if they saw her wrists, they'd all be sick.

'Cause she's all,
Rainbows, butterflies, and suicides,
They won't know it till after she dies,
Rainbows, butterflies, and suicides,
Her happiness was always her greatest lie.

They talk and gossip about suicide in the urbs,
and they don't realize they're talkin bout her.
Talking about when they get to move from mom,
she probably won't even make it to prom

The newest band, or their newest fling,
they don't know living ain't her thing.
They talk about the new school play,
she probably won't wake up that day.

'Cause she's all,
Rainbows, butterflies, and suicide,
They won't know it 'till after she dies,
Rainbows, butterflies, and suicide,
Happiness was always her greatest lie.
