I look in these mirrors
And I cringe at what I see
The girl standing here
Cannot be the real me

Hidden under masks
Behind a silver shield
Rapped up in fake smiles
How would she ever deal?

Chorus
Close your eyes and inhale
The trick is to keep breathing
Exhale all the pain inside
To keep you form bleeding

Doesn't she look pretty?
Every day’s a game
Take away the facade
And reveal the shame

She won't tell you how
She feels about herself
The real her has been
Put away on the shelf

Chorus

Living a life of lies
She's placed herself on a throne
But in all reality
She's the one that's all alone

She's lost her sanity
Long ago she lost her head
But she'd rather be loved
Than be alone and dead

Chorus

Chorus

Keep breathing...
Just keep breathing...
It'll keep you from bleeding...
Close your eyes and inhale.
