"if teardrops could be bottled, there'd be swimming pools filled by models"
if teardrops were silver stars
i'd be a rich woman living the elite life
as they'd run down my cheeks
i'd collect them in a glass jarif emotions were worth money
if be moderately rich
and stuff my rage
into gilded jars
that will soon turn into profit"told 'a tight dress is what makes you a wh*re'"
the seams of this tight dress
accentuates the dips of my hips
and shows my body off
as if it was sweeter then honeythen the catcalls came
the looks of hate
people's feelings about my clothes
spilling out from their pursed lips"if 'I love you' was a promise, would you break if your honest?"
they say love is a war
a constant stalemate
of guns against gunsthey say you let the person get so close
they may just be able to kill you
but you trust them enough that they won'tbut when they do
that is when hearts shatter
for how could love turn into death so quickly?"tell the mirror, what you know she's heard before, I don't wanna be you....anymore"
everything becomes more real in mirrors
the way your thighs touch
the way your feet are too big
the acne taking over your face
your big nose that overshadows your features
the fact that you don't have sparkling eyes
or a pretty, pleasing facethe mirror's silver back
and the way it bends light
accentuates each and every flawto the point where
you don't wanna be you anymore
