It nearly kills her to look in the mirror.
Her high heels and painted on beauty won't even disguise the safest of miseries.
Drives off to her destination, under the buzz of fluorescent lighting.
Pretends she knows the stranger with the room key in his hand.
She tells him what he needs to wants to hear.
The dirty hotel sheets are dripping with lies...
she can taste them so thinck as they exit her lungs and brush her lips.
All she is in his eyes is a cheap slut;
Nice for a good time,
better for the awful truth.
Sells her innocence to the fake world of street lights gone blank.
She looks best when she feels so weak, with tears in her eyes, parallel to her shattered hopes.
Twenty bucks won't help a bit...
not that she knows that, though.

Work your corner, sweetheart.
No one ever cared about your heart.
