tell me that I’m pretty
please do bring me around the city
introduce me to your family
you’ll see how good I handle it

but tell me this;
do looks truly matter? Because
i certainly didn’t love you for your face

i liked the spark in your eyes when you said it’s over
and i like the weight of your world upon my shoulders
i couldn’t help but smile when you cut me deeper
with your words, they might as well be swords

face me as the tears roll down my face
pretend this heart was fully yours to break
tell me that it all will be okay, as you walk away
as you walk away

my happiness depends on yours, don’t break me down
don’t worry i’ll wipe the oceans; fix my own crown
i’ll paint a picture of the most beautiful sky
and i won’t mind that i only see black and white

i’ll fake a smile, i’ll be alright
get myself through the night
i’ll fake a smile, i’ll be alright
be my own light
