[Verse 1]
You walk through the hallway
Like it’s your runway
Head held high
Laugh when you shove her shoulder
Turn every whisper into a lie
You live for the rumor
The drama
You live for the flinch in their eyes
But when the crowd thins out around you
It’s just you and the fluorescent lights
[Pre-Chorus]
All that talking
Stops when the echo hits the glass
All that laughing
Fades when it’s you and your past
[Chorus]
You think you’re better
Better than us
But it’s just armor made out of dust
You think you’re popular
Out of reach
Proud
But it’s paper-thin
That paper-thin crown
You pick on everybody so you don’t break
But I see the hurt in every word you say
When you’re alone and the mirror looks back
You know why
You know why
[Verse 2]
You circle your flaws with eyeliner
Hide every crack with a smile
Scroll through a thousand strangers
Still feel empty the whole time
You joke about other people
So no one looks too close at you
‘Cause if they saw your pieces
They might see what you’ve been through
[Pre-Chorus]
All that shouting
Can’t drown the voice in your head
All that power
Melts when you’re curled in your bed
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Who told you love was something you earn
By making somebody else hurt more
Who taught you pain is better ignored
Till it spills out on the hallway floor
I’m not your enemy
I’m not your fight
I’m just the mirror you’re trying to hide
Under the noise
Under the lies
There’s a kid who just wants to feel right
[Chorus]
