REFLECTIONS AND MIRRORS
party girls don't get hurt.
I have never been the one
To see where I am going
Won’t look down
Won’t open my eyes
Spend my days locked in a haze
My thoughts so cloudy
Can’t go home alone again
Imma be so cold
Need someone to numb the pain
Lick my lips, toss my hair
( a real fake )
Every step
Won’t second guess
Please don’t go—
I know it’s going to hurt ( you said this would never hurt )
Trying to forget you babe
When will I learn?
But I can take it
I brace myself
I push it down
Loosen up the frown
Put your hands on my waist
I wanna make a big mistake
I’m faking glory,
I’ll be the king—
Staying in my play pretend;;
( Here comes the shame
Out of place
Gonna blow myself away a g a i n )
