The woman you are now
Verse
Behind the lies hides a girl
Who lives in a dark place.
Inside her mind there’s a room.
A glimpse of a child’s face.
Chorus
So innocent and carefree
Till life came crashing down.
You’re fractured you are broken.
The woman you are now.
Verse
Behind that smile hides a truth
You don’t want me to know.
Behind the mask is the girl.
You once were long ago.
Chorus
So innocent and carefree
Till life came crashing down.
You’re fractured you are broken.
The woman you are now.
Verse
Despite your tears not a word.
To tell me how you feel.
Behind the truth is a lie
That still seems all too real.
Bridge
There’s no escaping from the past.
You’re chained to that dark day.
A child in a woman’s body
Still angry and afraid.
Verse
Behind the lies hides a girl
Who lives in a dark place.
Inside her mind there’s a room.
A glimpse of a child’s face.
Chorus
So innocent and carefree
Till life came crashing down.
You’re fractured you are broken.
The woman you are now.

A difficult subject for a man to write about. I think you handle it well.
Not so sure about these lines:
Behind the truth is a lie
That still seems all too real.
It seems to me that it's got things backwards. The truth (what happened and what it made her) is actually behind the lie (a smile or just going about life).
I may or may not be an enigma
