I'll use you as a reminder of things I have not done
And I'll use you as an example of what I shouldn't have become
I should have seen you coming when I was young
And peeled open my skin to peer beneath
I was not prepared
So I'll mark you down as a threat
And remember how you feel under my bones
(This is coming out)
I let you run wild, in all my mirrors
And now I know you're a warning flare
Of things that happen to an unknown soul
I know (you) better now
How do I wash you off of me
When I become a more understandable, honest being
When you carved into my body like muscle memory
And taught everyone the shape of your face
And the syllables of your name
But I couldn't force myself into you like I was supposed to
So I'm using you as a reminder of the things I
will not do
And the person I cannot be
You're just a Before photo on glass
A pretty lie in a pretty dress
That I'll never wear again
Because I know (me) better now
