(verse 1)
Lipstick stains on the coffee cup
3 a.m., I’m still awake
Your jacket hanging by the door
Like you forgot me by mistake
TV flickers in the dark
Static crawling through the room
I hear your voice inside my head
Like perfume trapped inside the fumes
(pre-chorus)
Everybody says I’m fine
Guess I learned to fake it right
You only call me after midnight
Like I’m easier without the light
(chorus)
I look prettier when I disappear
When I melt into the atmosphere
No heartbeat, no tears
Just smoke in the mirror
You touch me like a bad idea
Soft enough to keep me here
Then leave me in the quiet
Drowning in the silence
(verse 2)
Silver rings and tired eyes
Mascara on the bathroom sink
You loved me best when I was numb
Too gone to overthink
Now I sleep with all the lights on
Still afraid of what I know
You turned my name into an echo
That follows everywhere I go
(bridge)
Maybe I was only beautiful
When I hurt enough to sing
Maybe you just liked
How broken people
