Bad Days...


Look in the mirror

Take a picture

Why? So I can feel worse about myself than I already do?

I'm done

Trying to act like I'm okay when I'm not

I don't think I'm beautiful

I'm really really not. Yeah

Pretend, play pretend, everybody join in

Who's the best? The very best?

Who's the one who's going to win?

It's a competition and I'm losing

I'm always f*cking losing

I will never be on top

If I am then it's a flop

Press play, no stop!

 

What the hell were you thinking?

Giving him your heart when you know he's using you

Got no clue, what to do, in this circumstance

You might as well sit and look pretty

Oh wait, you can't do that

You're the ugly duckling that never became a swan

You're the outsider, the one that doesn't belong

You are nothing more than a very ugly butterfly, a moth is what you are

So please, pretty please, don't hide your scars

Don't be scared, be prepared for the nastiness to hit you in the face 

Find your place, in the world

You have no time to be stupid 

You're so stupid, thinking you'll be okay

This is not the time to play. 

This is not the time to say:

That they're wrong. They're not wrong

You're the one that's f*cking wrong 

How dare you even consider than you actually belong

You're a child, barely awake

You are the food on the plate

So vulnerable to the mouth, it'll eat you any day

Rambling, rambling

You make so little sense to me

Why are you acting like you know what you're doing?

You're dead on the inside

Alive on your face

But you can't keep this charade up

Every b*tch has her day.
