I'd scream that I love me
At the top of my lungs
If that's what it took
For me to believe it
Even for just a moment
I look in the mirror
Demanding myself to smile
Hoping that it still works
And afraid that one day
I'll grow immune to it
I'll stare at my body
Thinking about how right now
I'd give almost anything
To be anybody else
So I can just see what it was like
I signed up for the role
And now I have to play it
Out on stage I go
To play the most hated side character
In the play of my own life
I'd scream that I hate myself
So loud that I'd shatter
The glass box I'm trapped in
If that let people hear it
Even for just a moment

I'd scream that I love me
At the top of my lungs
If that's what it took
For me to believe it
Even for just a moment
I look in the mirror
Demanding myself to smile
Hoping that it still works
And afraid that one day
I'll grow immune to it
I'll stare at my body
Thinking about how right now
I'd give almost anything
To be anybody else
So I can just see what it was like
I signed up for the role
And now I have to play it
Out on stage I go
To play the most hated side character
In the play of my own life
I'd scream that I hate myself
So loud that I'd shatter
The glass box I'm trapped in
If that let people hear it
Even for just a moment
