Why do you help her but not me
She stumbled, I fell
I'm covered in black and blue but she's untouched and pure
I hide my scars well but it doesn't mean it's not there
Do you help her because she cries at the slightest paper cut
While I lay here silently even as I'm kicked in the gut
For someone so smart why do you not see through the facade
Can't you tell that she's just a fraud
Is it because she's funnier and prettier and more popular than me
I suppose it's written in society that a guy like you would never fall for me
But at least see my tears beyond that smile
See all the truth behind the lies
See all the scars that have healed
See the broken girl behind the shield
Instead you see a perfect girl who pretends to be the real me
You listen to her lies, her stolen stories
Literally torn out pages from my diaries
You believe her tears and frown
When you're not looking, she turns it upside down
When I try to reach out, everything goes wrong
You think I'm lying, stringing you along
We bicker and fight
Have different kind of long nights
I had a million problems but you were never one till now
She's a great actress, go on let her take that bow
I saw through her but you didn't somehow
Why can't you see
The person in your reflection is me
