Say it over and over again
I repeat to myself
In hopes I will heed my own warning
I tell myself to let go
But my heart is the one behind the reins
And it’s dragging me into the swamp
She wears a fake smile
Bearing her perfect white teeth
An illusion i'm only just starting to see past
Because reality is not as pretty as the pictures you paint
Or as your voice when you sing me lies
Ugly is my denial of reality that kept me coming back for more
