I look at my reflection in the eyes
Looking for anything familiar
Cheeks are always gaunt, I’m putting up a front,
Grasping at any straw that I can find to tell you that I’m fine
And I know what’s expected of me
Catching whispers in the dark, they’re always sharpening their teeth
And isn’t it so telling that they’re not even discreet
So, I promise you I’m getting better
Would you ever take me for a liar
If you could see the bones through my skin
Would you find another skeleton to drag into your closet
Maybe I just need a little company
There’s just something so inviting about it all
The glamour of letting it come to pass
I wish that I could tell you that I was wrong
Like it would even matter
There’s something visceral in me that’s making me pull myself apart
Piece by piece
So, I promise you I’m getting better
Would you ever take me for a liar
If you could see the bones through my skin, anymore
Would you always love me, just as you did
Oh as you did
Would you always love me, just as you did
