burden at my best

you see perfection

when you see all of who I am

I see repulsion

when I simply look down at my hands

 

I cant look in the mirror too long

without verging on fainting

but you stare and say I look like I belong

in some famous painting

 

that you would pay for someone to paint me

tears ***** my eyes

you say no amount of money would be worth my beauty

I start to break down and cry

 

you tell me "baby no, dry those tears"

but I can't help it

everyday you calm another fear

for once I believe I can be fixed

 

you see me through rose colored glasses

but what happens when they fall away?

after those pink sunglasses fall,

will you stay?

 

I don't know why you love me

Im such a mess

I don't see what you see

because baby,

I'm a burden at my best
