lyrics

so here alone
where my breathing lacks confidence
and though i know
i shouldn’t try to reflect in the dark
shiny and chrome
i lived i died and i lived again
but some people don’t
have a way they can understand that

i can’t breathe forever
and holding breath doesn’t buy you time
but girls like us know better
we don’t matter until we die

i understand
you’re afraid for your daughter
well
my mom and dad
i like to think that they’re scared for theirs too
i ain’t even mad
when we’re afraid we can do some strange things
but isn’t it sad
that what you’re afraid of is nothing like me

i can’t breathe unfettered
if i’m me only in my head
but girls like us know better
no one loves us until we’re dead
i can’t breathe forever
and holding breath doesn’t buy you time
but girls like us know better
we don’t matter until we die
