Lyrics

I changed my voice to sound like yours
Cut myself down just to fit your world
Every mirror in this house looks wrong
Cause I forgot who I was trying to become
You loved the version that kept quiet
The one that never fought back
So I buried every honest piece of me
Just to keep you from leaving again
I dyed my soul in colors you liked
Turned all my edges soft and white
Smiled through the damage, swallowed my pride
Just so maybe you'd hold me at night
And I'm so tired
Of becoming someone else
Every time you look away
I erase another part of myself
Tell me what I gotta change
Tell me who I gotta be
How much of me has to die
Before you finally love me?
I learned your favorite lies by heart
Wore them like stitches across my scars
You called it love when I disappeared
But I was just surviving off your fear
Now I can't tell what's real anymore
Your reflection lives inside my skin
I spent so long chasing your approval
I don't remember where I end
So scream at me again
Tell me I'm impossible to keep
Maybe if I break enough
You'll finally see something worth needing
Cause I bent until my bones gave out
Turned my pain into your perfect mouth
And every piece of who I was
Got lost inside what you wanted most
Now the room spins with every word
I don't recognize my own heartbeat
I became everything you asked for
And somehow I'm still not enough
So here's the truth underneath the blood
You never wanted me
You wanted control
And I was starving enough to confuse that with love
Now I'm peeling your fingerprints off my skin
Trying to remember my own name again
If loving you means losing myself
Then maybe I'd rather be alone instead
