don’t show to much

you’ll lose him

don’t let him see those scars

he’ll find you revolting

don’t be unique

pull that mask on tighter

act natural!

natural…right, i can do that.

i’ll curl my hair and put on a pretty dress

keep my mouth shut until i need a breath

be the woman i’ve been told to be

that works for you right?

even if it’s not really me?

i don’t know how else to keep your love with me.
