Twist My Words

Part

I decided to look in the mirror today

Looked and looked

Couldn’t tell why they didn’t like my face

Said I was ugly

I needed to change

But what is it about you

That makes you so pretty?

I act the same and look okay

But you always say I’m shitty

I learned to live while dying inside

But don’t you worry; I’m alright

Part of me is already dead

Another part is head

Saying not to listen to you

But it’s the only thing my ears can do

The third part is my heart

Taking everything so seriously 

Because you say it so sincerely

School is awful, even without you

Bringing me down, and your little friends too

They follow, and don’t say a word

When you’re burying me under the dirt

But don’t you worry

Your secrets are safe with me

I keep them locked

Right behind my teeth

I don’t care what you say

I won’t come down and act your way

Part of me is already dead

Another part is head

Saying not to listen to you

But it’s the only thing my ears can do

The third part is my heart

Taking everything so seriously 

Because you say it so sincerely

I love you

Even when you’re like this

But trust me, you’re a great actress

Pretend to be friend

And it goes and ends

Whenever someone else is around

You change your song

The instant someone comes around

And I don’t make a sound

Part of me is already dead

Another part is head

Saying not to listen to you

But it’s the only thing my ears can do

The third part is my heart

Taking everything so seriously 

Because you say it so sincerely
