Look me in the eye and smile like it's over,
You thought you'd get lucky but I'm no four-leaf clover,

And this time it's fine because you say that I'm stronger,
You sure aren't my critic, I've done it much longer,

I'll play games with you with a feeling that's fake,
Just remember there's only so much I can take,

I'll laugh and I'll cry with this heart turned to stone,
We're surrounded by people, but we're both so alone,

It's two parts a tragedy, two parts a lie,
And I'd shed you a tear if I knew how to cry,

It's about time you tumbled, prepare for the fall,
I won't feel anything, nothing at all,

They all want to be you, they think you're so kind,
I think they'd think twice if you showed them your mind,

I know that you hear me, you feel me right there,
I'll keep watching you struggle while you still try to care,

Put together the pieces, just sit back and wait,
I'd tell them of darkness if they could see all my hate,

They love who I am, but I just can't see her,
Because when I open my eyes, there's your face in the mirror.
