I Love You

Her mask is perfect, the details precise
Her hair’s in a bun, her suit’s tailored right
No one can tell that she’s about to implode
From the alcohol that’s been tossed down her throat

She doesn’t come cheap and she doesn’t back down
But she’s the best escort in town
Not for her thoughts, but for her looks, her smile
So experienced, so knowledgeable, you must wonder why

The ghosts of the past linger in her soul
Her mistakes, her sins, her tragedies
But they’ve made her stronger, cunning
She’ll bed all the right men to get her to the top

Never says what she thinks, her smile never drops
Doesn’t let on to her plans, rain won’t spoil her fun
She’s in it to win it; she wants to have it all
And she doesn’t believe that from grace she’ll fall

She doesn’t show her desperation
Will never show her fears
That one day she won’t have anything
She’ll be less than nothing here

To every him she’s ever had, it was just the job
But this one, this sole one, is the one who stole her heart
She won’t say a word, won’t let him gain the upper hand
Because she can’t find the words to make him believe

Those three little words always escape her vocabulary
Especially whenever he calls for her
And she goes to him, because it’s all she’s good for
At least until she runs this town

He gets tired of her falsities, her legends, her escapes
Just once he’d like to see the girl behind mask and fakes
A little sample of the girl he truly wants to pay for
But his Mona Lisa never shows her frown anymore
