PITY PARTY

She built a wall around her body

Can't tell wall from skin

Drew a smile on the outside

Let nobody in

They can't tell it's paper thin

And her feelings catch each other

They climb her brick by brick

Her mind distorts a mirror

Like a puppet on a string

They're tugging at her tear ducts

So she throws herself a pity party

Here comes the jealousy, hate, and the dread

And never give herself a sorry

As she says

Give me a reason not to hide

'Cause I can't tear down the wall from the inside

I tried to leave it all behind

But what if someday I look back

And see how there's just me where the wall used to be?

So how many careless comments

Does it take to build a wall?

You're too much and not enough

How will you ever find a love?

It's a shitty paradox

'Cause she'll only find herself

If she belongs to someone else

He tells her all she needs to hear

And builds her walls into a cell

She could never say farewell

So she throws herself a pity party

Here comes the jealousy, hate, and the dread

And never give herself a sorry

As she says

Give me a reason not to hide

'Cause I can't tear down the wall from the inside

I tried to leave it all behind

But what if someday I look back

And see how there's just me where the wall used to be?

Throw yourself a pity party

Here comes the jealousy, hate, and the dread

You'll never give yourself a sorry

And again

So throw yourself a pity party

Here come all the guests, and no

You'll never give yourself a sorry

As you say

Now everybody's staring, the ceiling's falling down

The walls are getting closer and colder and harder and further away

How is it even possible?

It's getting tight, no oxygen
