There's no virtue in my mind
It's something you will never find.
There's no love inside my heart
I wouldn't know where to even start.
Scrub my body head to toe
but the dirt in me will always show.
Dress me in a pretty gown
but I will always let you down.
Paint my lips and comb my hair
but see my eyes?
There's nothing there.
