just a face

i can put on some make up
maybe some nice clothes
i'll fix my hair every morning
and make sure i've got that smile
and that walk
that makes you feel that i'd be fun to chase
that makes you remember why
you always seem to strive for things
that you just can't have

i can start to wear the shoes
that tell you i'm your type
i can play the guitar
cuz it turns you on
i can wear the beanies
that make you think i look really cute
and i can walk past you
and catch your eye
heart
and soul
and i can make you walk away from everything
that you claim matters to you
...because i had a pretty face.

and it would mean absolutely nothing
because if that's all it took
yet another face
"in a sea of so many people"
then i'll drown again in search of you
and i will be
drowned in tears
drowned in fear
drowned in confusion
because i don't know what i'm lookin for anymore
i've spent too much time searching this abyss
only to realize that i've lost myself in everything unimportant
where faces defined willingness
and make up made up your mind
the shoes i wore
allowed you to walk all over me

if i am just a face
then you can find another just as pretty
if i am just a face
then you can find another just as quickly
if i am just a face...
