lyrics

Watched from afar as you changed
Not in a second more like a slow fade
First it was what you said, the little things, more time in bed
Shrinking away from the world

A paper heart easily ripped and easily scarred
A fear of the simple things like going out, and greetings

And oh that voice in your heard I can see all the mean things she says
Painted across your face, you think you hide it but girl pain looks like pain

I’m so sick of the world
I’m so sick of the world
I’m so sick… of the world
Telling all of the girls
They're pretty perfect in pearls
Their enemy’s in the mirror
And you try to tell them how to feel

Watched from afar as you changed,
Watched as you boxed up your heart
Hoping that time would heal all your wounds
But you make them bleed when you needed something to feel

And oh that voice in your head I can see all the mean things she says
Painted across your face, you think you hide it but girl pain looks like pain

I’m so sick of the world
I’m so sick of the world
I’m so sick… of the world
Telling all of the girls
They're pretty perfect in pearls
Their enemy’s in the mirror
And you try to tell them what to feel

Watched from a far as you changed
A paper heart easily ripped and easily scarred
