You're so pretty They're lying I know I'm so self confident No you aren't I'm almost pompous I thought you hated yourself My confidence lies in my appearance Rarely But not usually in my actions You hate everything you do A persona A lie A poser, if you will Oh, but none of that matters when you say you love yourself The thoughts are passing Intrusive *Just a bit of anxiety* I wish you could see how it feels It's not the normal self hate Not when you pretend So surprise, my friends You're queen is living a lie And once you've read this She'll pretend it never happened

You're so pretty They're lying I know I'm so self confident No you aren't I'm almost pompous I thought you hated yourself My confidence lies in my appearance Rarely But not usually in my actions You hate everything you do A persona A lie A poser, if you will Oh, but none of that matters when you say you love yourself The thoughts are passing Intrusive *Just a bit of anxiety* I wish you could see how it feels It's not the normal self hate Not when you pretend So surprise, my friends You're queen is living a lie And once you've read this She'll pretend it never happened
I'm sorry you had to learn this way
