lyrics

You seem to know me better than me
Because our words tell a different story
Ironic, 'cause your self-awareness is lacking
Well, if you don’t like it then you’d better get packing

Fabricated aspects that I made up to appease
Can’t define a trait to save my life, I know I’m such a tease
So if you think that I’m hostile, then I’m willing to believe
Knowing you, it would be foolish to expect apologies

Can you tell me who I am? (x2)
Cause when I look inside, all I see is smoke and mirrors
How can you say who I am? (x2)
Look inside yourself for once and my side might be clearer

You helped me once, I tried to reciprocate
It took me till now to realize you weren’t worth it
I spent so long trying to sympathize
But now there’s just one thing left I wanna emphasize

A person is no better than the company they keep
So I’ll meet your friends and hear their lies and know who to delete
If you tell me I’m a bitch then, just for you, I’ll be the queen
And I’ll make myself anew from ice and feed the guillotine

Can you tell me who I am? (x2)
Cause when I look inside, all I see is smoke and mirrors
How can you say who I am? (x2)
Look inside yourself for once and my side might be clearer

Can you tell me who I am? (x2)
Cause when I look inside, all I see is smoke and mirrors
Can you tell me who I am? (x2)
Cause when I look inside, all I see is smoke and mirrors
How can you say who I am? (x2)
Look inside yourself for once and my side might be clearer too
