Stephanie sat alone in her hotel room, looking at a magazine article about her and Hunter, along with pictures of the couple. Everything about her in the photo spread looked fake, her hair, her make up, everything. The make-up people made her look like some kind of famous model. She may have wanted that a couple of years ago but not any more. Now everything about her was a lie.
Perfect by nature
Icons of self indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about our world that
Never was and never will be
Have you no shame don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled
The next evening Stephanie was walking around backstage at Raw. She was supposed to go out to the ring to meet up with her dad. Steph was tired of how the fans reacted to her. Yeah they didn't like Vince but that didn't mean that they had to boo her and stare at her in disgust like they did. Before she did the interview people used to actually like her.
Look here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending
But now I know she
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
"Oh my God" Stephanie was going back to her hotel room later that night, two giggling teenage girls were walking behind her.
"Oh my God" the first girl repeated "Is that her?"
"No way" the second girl replied "That is not Stephanie she has way better hair"
"Ask her" the first girl said
"Excuse me" the first girl tapped Stephanie on the shoulder "are you Stephanie McMahon?"
"Yes" Stephanie grumbled
"See I told you it was her!" The first girl cried "She looks way younger on T.V. though"
The two girls' laughter echoed in her ears even as Stephanie laid awake late into the night.
Without the mask
Where will you hide?
Can't find yourself
Lost in your lies
Stephanie got out of bed, grabbed the magazine and found the article on her and Hunter.
"I'm really happy with the way my life is right now" she read
"Lies!" She ripped out the pages "All lies!"
I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
Stephanie ripped the pages to shreds in a rage. She stormed to the window, opened it and threw the pages into the night sky.
And some how you've got everybody fooled
Never was and never will be
A single shred of paper fluttered back into the room before Stephanie shut the window. She picked it up.
You're not real and you can't save me
And somehow now you're everybody's fool
'But there is on thing I know' the paper read 'and that's that I love my husband with all my heart'
Stephanie looked out the window as the sun started to rise. Those words were the only truth in her life. That was the truth she would hold onto
