I want to be his girl,
but I'm not sure how to.
I want to be his only,
but I know I wont..
I can't make myself any clearer
I practice talking for hours,
watching that girl in the mirror.
She looks clever,
More confident than I.
She has that beautiful smile,
White teeth, plump lips
But I know I'm not her.
Perfect figure, straight posture
But I want to be her
Maybe then he'd notice
I want to be that girl,
Then one he watches
As she walks by,
The one he writes songs for.
The one he holds at night.
But I can't.
I'm not her,
No matter how hard I try.
I'm not the girl I see in the mirror

Her lips have that clever smile
She doesn't know what's in her drink
Nor does she really care.
He's watching her, she's losing it.
He hands her that bag of golden brown
She drowns it in her veins

Everyone wants to be her,
Following in her wake
Destruction, mishaps.
She wants her escape,
That purple haze just isn't enough

It's in her water,
She doesn't know
She's having too much fun to notice
He throws an arm around her waist
To keep her from falling into window panes

She's a lying waste of space,
Her purity is lost,
All she's tastes are her drugs.
Everyone's starting to call her bluff

Did they tell you I'm leaving today?
I see you in my rearveiw mirror.
Did you realize your mistake?
I know tears are rolling down your face.

Did they tell you I'm a wreck?
I saw you messaged me.
Did you just realize you loved me?
You know it's too late.

Did they tell you that you lost your chance?
You're begging me to come back.
Did you know I hate goodbyes?
You said it everytime.

Did you realize it was just for today?
I told you how I felt.
Did they already tell you?
You should have believed them all along.

I'm standing here
Trying to make this life on my own
I'm frozen,
The memory you gaze at.
I'm two summers ago,
Something you've forgotten.
This purpose is a curse
Capturing your memories
Holding them forever
Only to be thrown away
When you no longer care.
Wish you had me now?
I'm already gone,
wasted away.
I wasn't yours to keep

Ma amie,
You're always there for me.
J'adore tu pour tout ce.
I couldn't imagine my life without you.
Ma ange dans le deguisement.
You're my savior.
Tu garde de tant de les choses.
My protector.
J'adore vous.

We find ourselves always weaving a web of lies
Hiding behind in the despair we wish to vanquish.
Painting faces, painting personalities.
To try and make things right.
But who is to say it's not wrong?
We walk down the wrong roads,
Trying to find ourselves,
But it's not really us.

Dreams remain unfollowed,
Hopes are forgotten,
Everything is just a memory.

Reality is just the faintest remark.
Everything is so ideal.
Masks are real faces,
Costumes are everyday clothes
No one is living in Reality.
Just webs of lies...
